What To Expect

A night of adults-only fun begins when you arrive at Chicago’s Drunk Shakespeare performing arts theater in the Loop District. You can choose which performance time and seat works best for your schedule, but once you arrive, prepare for a night that goes way off-book.

Actors take to the stage ready to perform one of Shakespeare’s iconic plays…but first one of the classically trained actors is going to down five shots of whiskey.

As the alcohol and actors get flowing, you’ll see the classic play you know and love tilt into a hilarious rendition that’s different every time. There’s also a special treat for every audience member and cocktails available for purchase if you want to get into the same mindset as the inebriated thespian.

The show was hilarious. The performers were great and so was the crowd participation. We went to the early show and I wanted to go to the show right afterwards but my husband wasn't feeling well so we didn't stay.
