Join us in supporting Nebraska Shakespeare at the annual fundraiser, Backstage Bash, on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at the UNO Milo Bail Student Center located at 6001 Dodge Street. The evening features the faced-paced circus of hilarity of Two Minute Shakespeare plays. Six actors playing multiple parts, wearing various wigs and costume pieces, tossing props, and speaking the most memorable lines of Shakespeare in two minutes or less, will entertain you! And if the group fails to deliver this guarantee? Your money back? Nah! They'll just do a push-up for every second over.
