Shakesbeer

Buy Tickets Here

April 20th at 6PM Tower Theatre

Finishing the festival with good cheer, local craft beer artisans will compete for the coveted ShakesBeer Trophy. Following the last performance of the play (April 20th), the audience, actors, and artisans will all gather to imbibe and decide upon the People’s Choice and the Judge’s Selection.


The course of good brew promises to run smooth. (And if our shadowing of Shakespeare here has offended, share a pint with us and all will be mended.)

2024 Shakesbeer Judges

History of the ShakesBeer Trophy

 After much serious debate and consultation throughout 2021, Professor Debby Hutchins (Philosophy, STC) and Bryan H. Smith (Political Science, STC) settled on a design. "We wanted something like the Stanley Cup, something that could be treasured and coveted for years to come." 


Tony Mahoney, a local carpenter (and brew master extraordinaire) was approached in early 2022.  Mr. Mahoney easily accepted the work, donating his time and talents to producing what is now a local treasure. The final product was revealed to much delight during the 2022 festival.

Will'n in Weslaco would like to thank both Dr. Debby Hutchins and Tony Mahoney for all they have contributed to make this and other parts of our annual Shakespeare festival a happy and successful celebration of community and camaraderie.
