To beer, or not to beer, that is the question.
Tucson Fringe Theater Festival is hosting its annual Shakespeare-themed pub crawl “Beer with the Bard” from 1 – 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 22.
The festival takes you on a tour of local downtown drinking spots, while being treated to scenes from Shakespeare’s work in a flashmob kind of way.
The crawl gets off on the right foot at Borderlands Brewery, then stops by Tap & Bottle, followed by The Royal Room, and finishes at The Flycatcher on 4th Ave.
Each venue is the host to different Shakespeare plays including King Lear, Macbeth, and several other monologues.
The all-inclusive wristband is $35, which includes four drink tickets,and $10 for the regular wristband that does not include drink tickets. Although, you’re more than welcome to buy your own drinks at each stop.
There will be two tours, with the first starting at 1 p.m. and the next starting at 2 p.m. You can expect to spend at least 30 minutes at each bar/brewery.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
