Lady Shakes is at it again, in an all women casting of Romeo and Juliet! Under the direction of Alex Reilly, we will give this classic tragedy new life.

The turmoil of forbidden love, the chaos of angry tempers, and the thrill of hopeful dreams reach beyond the young couple before culminating in a an explosive conclusion.

Most known for ‘Millennials,’ which hit 12 million views in 48 hours, Brad Upton was catapulted into Dry Bar comedic stardom in 2018. With a current standing of nearly 90 million views, Upton’s ‘Millennials’ set holds Dry Bar’s current record as the most watched stand-up video ever. Other recent hits include “I’m Not Done Yet” — Upton’s Dry Bar Specials alone have more than 200 million views.
Brad’s observational humor and witty perspectives have earned him a loyal following.

WILLIAM LEE MARTIN COMEDY STAMPEDE TOUR
WED
JUL

William Lee Martin is a storytelling, stand-up comedian who just wants to make you laugh after a long day. ‘The Texas Original’ sells out venues around the country and is well-known for his television comedy specials including “Let the Laughter Roll” (CMT), “Standing in the Middle” and “The Nutcracker: a Christmas Special based on his Vasectomy,” currently streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. He’s a regular at the Grand Ole Opry and Las Vegas’ MGM, and has been touring since 1996.
In 2020, his social media following exploded with his ‘4 o’clock Daily Talk’.
Martin is relatively clean and disarmingly clever. With a humorous and perpetual POV on women and marriage, Martin went from open-mic night to headliner in three short years. Before touring solo, he opened for Country stars like Loretta Lynn, George Strait and Brad Paisley, and performed with all four Blue Collar Comedy stars: Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy.
Don’t miss “Comedy Stampede” at the Jayhawk Theatre on Wed, July 12!
