A Bard Day's Night is a delightful collection of famous scenes from Shakespeare's plays, combined with music and lyrics from the Beatles.
The result is a unique mix of Britain's best, brought to Colorado. Our actors and the singers from Bard's Bards will bring this dream to life.
The production is directed by Amber Marshall, with musical direction by Aimee Woods.
