PLYMOUTH, Vt. – The 2023 annual “Shakespeare Alive! A Bard-Based Variety Show” returns for an all-new, free performance. It’s a delightful mélange of Bard-based entertainment for all ages. The Stand Up Shakespeare troupe of professional actors and singers from New York City will share its talent, passion, and creativity to amuse and amaze with the best of Shakespeare’s canon, as well as Bard-based skits and songs. And, lo, verily, the show is always free (although donations are gratefully accepted).
Stand Up Shakespeare is a collective of New York City-based actors who have become a veritable Vermont institution over a 23-year period. The beloved troupe travels to Killington and Plymouth each Labor Day weekend to present a new one-hour show made up of romance, tragedy, history, and comedy, all based on the works of William Shakespeare.
The show will take place on Sept. 2, at Union Christian Church, 43 Messer Hill Road, located on the Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site, 3780 Route 100 A in Plymouth Notch, Vt., at 12 p.m.
Stand Up Shakespeare is proud to be a part of celebrating the 100th anniversary of Calvin Coolidge’s presidency.
Stay on for the 18th annual Plymouth Folk and Blues Festival, which begins at 2 p.m. and runs until 5 p.m. the same day, and continuing during the same times the next day, Sunday, Sept 3. This event is also free, with donations appreciated.
