Before the Ides Bard & Brew with Austin Shakespeare

​Before the “Ides of March” arrives or you wear the green, join us at our FREE informal gathering at The ABGB for a bit ‘o springtime merriment.

​Marc Pouhé (fresh off his spectacular portrayal of Macbeth!) will perform a scene from Much Ado About Nothing, joined by Sharron Bower Anderson as Beatrice to Marc’s Benedict. Sharron will also give us insights into the mysterious “Madame X” (of the John Singer Sargent painting fame). We'll get a taste of the upcoming staged reading by some of the show's actors. Get the insider scoop!

​Team up for the trivia quiz and a chance to win a free ticket to either our production of Madame X or our new 2026 Raffle for a trip to London, Rome, or Prague as you relax, mingle, and patronize the award-winning ABGB’s menu of food and beverages. 

​Explore the world of William Shakespeare’s life and art whilst enjoying our learned speakers and company players bringing the Bard’s works to life as they were meant to be heard. We hope you’ll join in the conversation, mingle with kindred spirits, and learn more about Austin Shakespeare’s performances and educational adventures for kids and adults.
