For those of you who don't know, Bashir's is at the end of the Downtown Mall opposite from the ice hockey rink, and it is right across from the Discovery Museum. If you get lost, send an email to [email protected] with your phone number so one of the 20th Anniversary co-chairs can give you a call and directions.

Looking forward to seeing you all this afternoon and tonight!

Check out our new Saturday event! A FREE stage combat class taught by one of our own!

We are pleased to announce the addition of a free stage combat workshop, taught by the illustrious Ahmad “Ahmad Helmy” Kamal, to our lineup of events this weekend! If you’re interested in brushing up on your stage combat skills, please sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1p8U_NSws-6g_XpFrAxQsat2NO6lyxuIsqhhFZ9yoHj8/viewform?c=0&w=1. All are welcome, but the event is capped at thirty participants, and Shakespeare on the Lawn alumni will be given preference. The workshop will take place on Saturday, 11:00 A.M., in Multipurpose Room 1 at the Aquatic and Fitness Center. Please wear clothing that allows you to move around comfortably!

A little information on the much-beloved instructor: Ahmad Kamal received his MA in Acting this year from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Prior to that, he received a B.A. in Drama from the University of Virginia, where he served as the president of Shakespeare on the Lawn during the 2012-2013 school year. He is a master of both Shakespearean drama and stage combat, he looks damn fine in a frock coat, and we’re thrilled to have him back!
