Welcome to Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon!

Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon is a living historical performance specializing in a one-man, audience-interactive, comedic, educational entertainment experience - or "edutainment."  The audience comes on stage & into the literary action - think of it as Shakespeare as a stand-up comedian.

I am available to perform for you at Renaissance faires, school assemblies, libraries, summer festivals, First Night events, signings at bookstores, birthday, and more!

The shows include original, half-hour versions of Romeo & Juliet, Twelfth Night, William Shakespeare's Monarchy! The Musical and - new for 2011 - Shakespeare's Sea Shanties.  Also new for this year is The Compleat Dummies' Guide to Shakespeare, a one-hour interactive extravaganza of the Bard's language made plain.

Having performed at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, the Hudson Valley Mayfaire, the Virginia Renaissance Faire, and the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, as well as First Night Oneonta & First Night Scranton, I bring over ten years of theatrical experience to your event.

Our goal is to inspire a love of learning along with the laughter.

Where there's a Will, there's a Play!
