50 SHADES OF SHAKESPEARE

I'd been told to go see this show, so I finally made time to do so--and I'm glad I did. In 45 mins, these four actors did an AMAZING job of improvising several scenes of Shakespeare where they didn't know which character they would be until that show began.

One of my favorite shows of HFF16. Talented cast and brilliant depictions of some of the Bard's sexiest scenes. Don't miss it!... full review

This might just be my favorite of the 6 shows I've seen so far this year at HFF16. The cast is so talented and it's just a fun time from start to finish. Everyone loves a good gender swap here and there, but their interpretation of certain scenes was beautiful.... full review

We loved this show and can't wait to see it again to see how different it will be the next time! They even give you a code to come back at a discount! ... full review
