“Lord, what fools these mortals be!” Join the Guerrilla Shakespeare Theatre Company as they dive into the fairy world with their upcoming production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This award-winning theatre company brings a Shakespearian fever dream to six different Upstate locations this May.
The Guerrilla Shakespeare Theatre Company is a theatrical activist collective based in the upstate of South Carolina. The company won five awards, including “Best Play,” at the 2018 South Carolina Theatre Association competition. This production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be directed by Erika Phoenix. This will be her directorial debut with the company. Midsummer will be her first full-length project in South Carolina since completing an MFA in Physical Theatre at the Accademia dell’Arte in Arezzo, Italy.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a wild, intense romp through the forest, complete with mistaken identities, power plays, and unpredictable declarations of love. Just when a character knows what they want, there is an unexpected turn of events and everything spirals out of control. The audience dives into the dark with dreams of love and acceptance with the performers. With a cast of nine playing a total of 20 characters, prepare to be lost in this magical and wonderful world where “the course of true love never did run smooth.”
All productions are pay what you can. This performance is outdoors so bringing a chair or blanket is recommended to enjoy the show.

So excited to welcome this local singer/songwriter back to Sweet Sippin’…. Tyler is one of our longest playing musicians and if you’ve never heard him play you’re missing out! Smooth, rich vocals paired with great musicianship on the guitar… You’ll swear you’ve heard his original music on the radio by night’s end!
So gather the gang and head on down – the beer is cold and the wine is waiting!

Friday, May 3 Foxfire Revival ~ Foxfire Revival is a four-piece folk outfit with an Appalachian stringband feel that brings a variety of sounds from traditional instruments such as harmonica, banjo, mandolin, and cello. Motivated by the spirit of the Foxfire series of North Georgia, the Athens-based band was born in 2016 out of a weekly gathering of friends seeking to revive certain old-fashioned crafts from times gone by. Together these friends – Austin Hall, Jordan Burbage, David Henry, and Brock Beisel – seek to celebrate and share with others their collective love for adventure, a good story, and Appalachian culture through the music they create. Foxfire Revival takes cues from the likes of Mipso, Nickel Creek, The Avett Brothers, and Gregory Alan Isakov.
