It’s finally 420 Friday! 😎🍃

420 Shakespeare is Chicago’s #1 “Shakespeare”-friendly Canna🤫 Comedy Experience 🔥

🫴 4 professional actors meet to perform a Shakespearean tragedy, but only after one of them consumes at least 20mg of you know what, leading to a fun, twisted take on the Bard’s classic 💀

In a nutshell, 4 actors + 20mg = anything can (and Will) happen! 🥳

Created by in 2024, 420 Shakespeare played at the de Maat Studio Theatre at The Second City from 4/20-5/29 and is currently on summer hiatus 🎭

or should we say… “HIGH”atus? 🍃🔥💨

Fans of gardening, puns and poetry will find plenty to enjoy in the wild and whacky world of 420 Shakespeare, and since you read this far, why don’t you follow us and our upcoming show 420 Frankenstein? It’s going to be one electrifying evening when Mary Shelley 👰🏻‍♀️ meets Mary Jane 🥦
