Three days of rehearsal … three different Shakespearean comedies … three nights a week … three different "Bottoms" … dirt cheap tickets … only in August … only as Shakespeare would have dared to do … only at … The New American Shakespeare Tavern. During the Dog Days of summer, The New American Shakespeare Tavern opens its doors after a quiet July presenting its first ever Shakespeare comedy repertory, bringing back the best comedies from its '99/'00 season at specially discounted prices, before the heat of summer 2000 wanes.
