Round Robin Shakespeare

Come help us read all 38 plays aloud!

Clamour Theatre Company is reviving Round Robin Shakespeare

From 2013 to 2019, a community of Shakespeare lovers met monthly to read their way through the canon. They read every play aloud and had a lot of fun doing it. Several of the members were instrumental in starting Clamour.

Beginning February 5, 2026, Clamour will host a new edition of RRS with a slightly different format, on the first Thursday of every month.

See the FAQs below for all the details.

Please note: If we have more than 2 events available for reservations at one time, you may not see all of them when you first click the red “Reservations” toggle. Just click in the white space between two events to force the widget to expand and display all available events.

For questions or assistance, please email boxoffice@clamourtheatre.org (and please tell us which play you are asking about or trying to reserve).

ACCESSIBILITY

Any adult. Any gender. Any race. This is the ultimate in color-blind, gender-blind casting.
For this endeavor, we’ll conform to Elizabethan custom and count high school students as adults.
We don’t recommend this activity for younger children.  However, if you believe your child can read fluently enough to participate without slowing down the proceedings OR can amuse themselves quietly for up to 3 hours without distracting the group, let’s discuss.  You can send us an email at info@clamourtheatre.org

Reading Shakespeare — Out Loud — One play a month. Come for one, or come for all.

Because it’s fun. And when it’s done, we’ll be able to say we’ve read all of the plays. ALL of them!

At the beginning of the meeting, we sign up — first come, first serve — to read a specific role in Act 1.  If all Act 1 roles are filled, remaining readers sign up for roles in Act 2, etc. If there are not enough readers for all roles, people who read in Act 1 may sign up for a different role in a later act. Some people may read more than one role on nights when attendance is light.

Absolutely! This is fun and informal. We’re just going to read the play out loud. If you can read, you’ll be fine.

We’ll take you out back and boil you in oil. No, seriously, everybody stumbles over the words sometimes. We all do the best we can, and when we fumble, we laugh and go right on.

It’s not necessary. You can if you’d like. We don’t think it ever hurts to read Shakespeare aloud. However,you won’t know what characters you might be reading until you arrive.

Casual dress is perfect. We’d like it if the gentlemen came in doublet and hose, and the ladies made themselves miserable in corsets, stomachers, farthingales and petticoats, but it’s probably better that we should all be comfortable! If you have to come from work and be a little more formal, that’s okay, too.

Whichever one you have. If there are slight differences among texts, we’ll figure it out. (Except RICHARD III. There seem to be major discrepancies among different versions of this one.
