The Shakespeare Gym

The Shakespeare Gym started as a place to get short scenes or portions of the plays on their feet to explore “fitting the action to the word”. Since then members (a combination of local Shakespeare enthusiasts, actors, Shakespeare Readers, and Crows adult family members) have become more ambitious and added full plays to their performance repertoire. Anyone interested in dipping their toes into the invigorating waters of Shakespeare are welcome to join these workshops.

Romeo and Juliet

A Shakespeare Gym/Upstart Crows collaborative production

June  12, 13, 14, 15 at 6:30 pm • Scottish Rite Temple • 463 Paseo De Peralta

June 19, 20, 21, 22 at 6:30 pm • The Crows' Nest • 7 Caliente Road

Tickets $15, at the door or online

Two casts - one a (roughly) age-accurate mix of adults and youth, the other a gender- blind, age-blind cast perform in the historic Scottish Rite Temple and then in the Crows own black box theater in Eldorado. The combination of veteran Crows, experienced Gym members and professional actors, along with up and coming members of the Company make this an exciting experience of the entire play, including scenes rarely seen in stage and film.
