A pub crawl in the spirit of Shakespeare will hit Skillman Avenue tomorrow, with a range of short performances planned at multiple locales on the stretch.

Performers from the Queens-based Titan Theatre Company will pay homage to Shakespeare’s greatest works, including his classic speeches, scenes, and his many references to drinking, in 30-minute shows.

The theater company will begin at The Globe Tavern at 3 p.m., and make its way through establishments like Dog and Duck, Claret, PJ Horgan’s, Stray Vintage, and more. Some impromptu and kid friendly performances will also be sprinkled through the day.

The event was organized along with the Skillman Project, a group of bars and restaurants along the avenue, to raise funds for a local food bank.

A $5 minimum donation in either cash or a non-perishable food is required for interested spectators. Participating locales are also offering food and drink specials.

I went to a few of the stops to see how this was going to be and I was pleasantly surprised. The cast did an amazing job at making Shakespeare fun. They had a decent crowd following them from bar to bar as well. Great job all around!

How about hiring bartenders who can make a good mixed drink? I’ve basically stopped going out for drinks because I’m tired of asking for a dry martini and getting a glass of vermouth.

Roberto: your comments are bigoted and above all ignorant. Just because the last time you read a book was 4th grade don’t judge everyone else. I love Shakespeare and have no trust fund. Turn the Yankee game off for one night and try something new. Oh yeh, reading the NY Post doesn’t count as trying something new.

Queens gun buyback takes 74 firearms off streets, including ghost guns and assault weapons: DA

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday that 74 firearms were taken off the streets at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica during a gun buyback event on Saturday, June 14. The weapons were exchanged for bank cards pre-loaded with cash, with no identification required and no questions asked.

“Gun buybacks serve as a critical tool for reducing gun violence and promoting public safety within our communities,” Katz said. “This Saturday, working with the NYPD and clergy leaders in Jamaica, we received 74 surrendered guns — including five automatic weapons. As a result, these firearms will not be used to cause heartache and tragedy.”
