Bard in the Bar: Richard III

Valley Players will host its third **Bard in** **the Bar** event on Sunday, May 4, 6pm- 8:30pm, at Progression Brewing (9 Pearl Street, Northampton, MA)!

For this reading, we’ll be doing Shakespeare’s timely play of tyranny and resistance, ***Richard III***. Tickets are on a pay-what-you-can scale starting at $0 and half of net proceeds will be donated to Community Action Pioneer Valley. The other half will support the Valley Players’ production of Lee Blessing’s *A Walk in the Woods*, coming up in June.

**Bard in the Bar** is an unrehearsed, script-in-hand, drink-in-hand reading of a Shakespeare play to benefit an area nonprofit or charity. Roles are on a first-reply, first-served basis and are available to anyone who wants to sign up; specific parts will be distributed randomly about one week before the reading. To sign up for a role, email info@valleyplayers.org.

Note that food and drink will be available for purchase from Progression Brewing. Outside food and drink is not permitted.
