HamLit

Sweet Tea Shakespeare takes one performance a year to let their hair down and have an even more interactive experience with their audience. The Lit series migrates through local breweries and pubs, and features an irreverent take on a classic Shakespeare play, bits of improv, and pulling the audience (literally) into the show. It’s a fun evening, and this one left me laughing from behind my camera.

Is it really a Sweet Tea Shakespeare + Thistle & Sun shoot if I don’t get a photograph of Traycie singing with all her heart? I think not.
