Stand-Up Shakespeare is a collective of New York City-based actors who have become a veritable Vermont institution over a 21-year period. The troupe travels to Killington and Plymouth each Labor Day weekend to present a new one-hour show made up of romance, tragedy, history and comedy, all based on the works of William Shakespeare. And, lo, verily, the show is always free, although donations are gratefully accepted.

The show will take place at Union Christian Church, 43 Messer Hill Road, located on the Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site, 3780 Route 100 A, Plymouth Notch, VT 05056.

Stay for the 16th annual Plymouth Folk and Blues Festival, which begins at 2 p.m. and runs until 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at the same time. This event is also free, with donations appreciated.
