A Note from the Theatre

In the wake of the devastating July 4 flood, our beloved theatres are not currently accessible. The damage to our campus has been significant, and for now, our stages remain quiet.

But the spirit of theatre is anything but still.

We are incredibly grateful to continue gathering—when we can—in the art gallery. These performances may look a little different, but they carry the same heart, creativity, and connection that have defined us for generations.

This moment is not what we planned, but it is not the end of our story. With each small performance, each audience member, and each shared experience, we are reminded why this work matters. We are rebuilding, reimagining, and moving forward with determination and hope.

The lights will come back on. The curtain will rise again.

Until then, we invite you to join us in the gallery, to be part of this chapter, and to help us shape what comes next.

HOT SHAKESPEARE at Arcadia Live

Hot Shakespeare is where the Bard meets blazing hot chicken! Our fearless actors perform scenes from Shakespeare's greatest plays—but there's a catch. Every time the bell rings, they must stop, take a bite of ridiculously spicy hot chicken, and then jump right back into the scene... no matter how fiery things get.

As the heat builds, so does the hilarity. Watch as kings, queens, lovers, and villains battle not only Shakespeare's words but watering eyes, burning tongues, and the overwhelming urge to reach for a glass of milk. No two performances are ever the same, and neither are the actors' reactions!

Whether you're a Shakespeare enthusiast or just here to watch talented performers try to deliver iambic pentameter through tears of laughter (and spice), Hot Shakespeare is an unforgettable evening of live theatre that's equal parts classic literature and delicious chaos.

PLEASE NOTE: The performance is at Arcadia Live
