Boozy Bard: Drunkbeth

Oct 23 — Oct 30, 2025

(21+ ONLY EVENT)
AT THE SCHLAFLY TAP ROOM
October 23 & 30, 7:30 pm

Witness a glorious evening of drink-fueled mayhem and adults behaving poorly for your enjoyment! An inebriated performer voluntarily struggles to reconstruct a character in the story of Shakespeare’s Macbeth after imbibing several shots of whiskey, while our remaining sober performers bravely inhabit the story with “helpful” suggestions from our “spirited” audience members. These highly skilled artists all have legitimate Shakespearean credits. This is not one of them! If your favorite character in Shakespeare is anyone who dies and/or you simply enjoy bawdy humor and improvisation with an extravagant literary edge, this is thy jam!

TICKETING
This event is General Admission. Tickets are $18 in advance or $20 at the door.

FOOD & BEVERAGE
There will be a full bar with drinks available for purchase inside the performance space; however, no food is allowed in the show room. We encourage you to arrive early to grab dinner downstairs in Schlafly Tap Room’s restaurant!

CONTENT NOTICE
This is an adult-only show; no one under the age of 21 will be admitted. No exceptions.
Performances may include: strong language, vulgarity, bawdy humour, unpredictable audience interaction, and rough magick.

We do not support excessive drinking. Our performers are adult participants who are carefully monitored and cared for. Our “drunk” performers do not drive home on performance nights. Please drink responsibly and designate a sober driver or ride service.
