It’s BYOB (Bring Your Own Bard) as The Rustic Mechanicals host a Shakespeareaoke, a unique open-mic, spoken-word, music-filled, interactive celebration of The Bard. A party that only The Rustic Mechanicals can throw. The RM BAND will be on hand to provide the energy and enthusiasm, but you will be the star of the show.

The Rustic Mechanicals, currently celebrating their 10th Anniversary Season, were founded by Celi Oliveto in the summer of 2014. The Rustic Mechanicals is the only troupe of actors in the state dedicated to touring the works of William Shakespeare.

The Mechanicals now tour five shows annually, including their summer West Virginia Shakespeare in the Park(s) outdoor tour and script-in-hand productions that we call, “a Play, a Pie, and a Pint,” focusing on making Shakespeare’s plays accessible to modern audiences by utilizing dynamic and extreme casting techniques paired with Shakespeare’s staging conditions.

Previous productions include A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado about Nothing, Macbeth, The Tempest, Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice, Romeo & Juliet, The Merry Wives of Windsor, King Lear, Richard III, The Comedy of Errors, Hamlet, Measure for Measure, As You Like It, Julius Caesar, Titus Andronicus, Love’s Labour’s Lost, Cymbeline, Henry IV, part one and the original works Timeless Romance and Toil & Trouble.
