Inebriated Shakespeare returns with 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'

After two successful years of entertaining the greater Nashville area with intoxicated words of The Bard, Inebriated Shakespeare is back with A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Catch Inebriated Shakespeare’s debut performance for the season on New Years Eve at the Music Valley Event Center, located at 2416 Music Valley Drive. The performance will be part of the venue’s New Years Eve celebration that will also include burlesque numbers from Radical Arts Theatre. Doors open at 8 PM with Inebriated Shakespeare taking the stage at 9 PM. After the performance, actors from Inebriated Shakespeare will hang around to count down to the New Year and party with patrons. Tickets are only $5 for a full night of entertainment. Tickets available by calling 615-902-9566 or can be purchased at the door. Beer and wine will be available for sale along with snacks and other concessions.

Performing in venues, bars and clubs around Music City, Wild Card Production’s Inebriated Shakespeare incorporates an abbreviated version of a William Shakespeare play with some adult beverages thrown in. The audience can purchase shots, which are a $5 donation (per shot) to the non-profit theatre company, and it helps the actors become inebriated. Those attending shows are encouraged to bring cash for the shots.

Inebriated Shakespeare incorporates two casts of eight actors who do their best to execute the classic comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Because two casts perform the show throughout the area, you can attend a performance and it won’t be the same as the next. Performing on New Years Eve is the company’s Cast B.

Due to popular demand, the company will also be bringing back their production of Much Ado About Nothing in February with the debut performance on February 24th at the Music Valley Event Center. For tickets and information regarding any of the Inebriated Shakespeare shows, check out their website at www.inebriatedshakes.com.

When I started medical transition at 20 years old, it was very difficult to get the care I needed for hormone replacement therapy because there are very few providers trained in starting hormones for trans people, even though it’s very similar to the hormones that we prescribe to women in menopause or cisgender men with low testosterone.

I hope more providers get trained in LGBTQ+ healthcare, so they can support patients along their individual gender journey, and provide the info needed to make informed decisions about their body. I’ve personally seen my trans patients find hope and experience a better quality of life through hormone replacement therapy.
