The Vermillion and The Groat by Ken McCoy

May 3 and 4, 2024 at 7:30pm at Acting Ensemble on the Avenue.

Did the Bard write a Spaghetti Western? You’re about to find out pard, er pardner. Come see “A Stage(Coach) reading of Shakespeare’s forgotten folio. A no holds barred comedy in two acts, including a journey, a stranger and a story. Maybe not in that order! Come see how 53 characters, a stagecoach, a saloon, and a desert fit into the Acting Ensemble’s lobby!

Please be advised, this work contains course, suggestive language. Parental guidance is advised.
