The PreShow

Twenty minutes prior to showtime

The Preshow entertainment provides the audience an opportunity to enjoy a satirical look at another work of the Bard. These motley players tear apart one of Shakespeare's masterpieces and scotch tape it back together into an original 15 minute comic romp. Don't miss it.

The Preshow begins 20 minutes prior to every performance on the performance stage.
