Stoned As You Like It

"As a very serious journalist, it was my duty to pop a gummy, commit to the authentic Stoned Shakespeare experience and report back. And with that, I have to say: As You Like It may be the most fun I’ve had in the theater all year." - Kevin Douglas

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

BEST THEATRE FOR STONERS

"Bowls With the Bard was founded by Micaela Mannix in 2017 after she'd attended similar Shakespeare-with-booze events and decided she'd rather go the Stoned Shakespeare route. The result is an experience that transforms the way audiences engage with classic literature as actors navigate the complexities of Shakespearean language while under the influence of cannabis. In both its shows — the Denver-based troupe currently performs at the Coffee Joint — and a related podcast, Bowls With the Bard works to smash stereotypes of Shakespeare being inaccessible and stoners being dumb. As Mannix points out, it's an excellent way to get lit."
