The Company

Why, hello!

We're Bard at the Bar, a ragtag troupe of actors and artists based in the Las Vegas Valley whose mission is to make Shakespeare accessible to broader audiences by performing in unconventional venues (ie. bars). We've officially been around since mid-2018, when we debuted at the Velveteen Rabbit (our home base downtown) with A Midsummer Night's Dream. Our abridged shows are designed to give audiences the full story of each play, focusing on the key points of the plot and most famous lines of Shakespeare's texts.
