Shakespeare on Politics at February's Bring Your Own Bard

Four rivals battle to lead the rebellion while the current ruler waits in the wings, gathering his forces. The current political campaign or a Shakespearean play? You decide when Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks' BYOB ("Bring Your Own Bard") highlights "Shakespeare on Politics" on Monday, February 27 at 7:30 pm at The Te Cafe in Squirrel Hill. "Shakespeare on Politics" is an evening of favorite scenes and monologues from Shakespeare's greatest plays to his obscure ones! From King Henry V to King John, Shakespeare had a lot to say about politics and government. But would he have been an Inssurectionist or a Party loyalist?


PSIP’s Bring Your Own Bard is an informal scene night in which professional actors and non-actors alike take a crack at their favorite Shakespeare pieces. Readers and audience members are encouraged to bring along their favorite Shakespeare monologue, scene, sonnet or song ready to read, or just come to listen and enjoy. Extra readings will be on hand in case last minute inspiration strikes. A tax-deductible donation is suggested at the door.

Doors open at 7:15 PM, readings begin at 7:30 PM. Anyone interested in reading should contact BYOB@pittsburghshakespeare.com, or visit us on Facebook at Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks.

BYOB will continue through the spring with a different theme each month.

Summertime BYOB - Bring Your Own Bard Reading Series

“Summertime” BYOB


“Summertime…and the living is easy.”

That quote is not from Shakespeare, but everything else will be in this evening celebrating the Bard’s evocation of summer.

The Bring Your Own Bard reading series presents an evening of scenes, monologues, and sonnets describing, decrying, delighting in, despairing of all things summer on Thursday, July 29, 2010, 7:00 PM at the Te Café in Squirrel Hill. BYOB is an informal scene night where professional actors and non-actors alike take a crack at their favorite Shakespeare pieces. Extra readings will be on hand in case last minute inspiration strikes. BYOB is a fundraiser for PSIP, Pittsburgh’s only theater offering free Shakespeare performances in city parks.

Suggested tax-deductible donation is $10 at the door. Readers and audience members alike are encouraged to bring copies of their favorite Shakespeare plays and join in the reading of sonnets, scenes, and songs. Fun for the whole family. (Kids are welcome).
