Fans of "Drunk History" and all its slurred education will fall over laughing at "Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare", which combines an entirely serious Shakespeare play with one completely inebriated cast member. For the last six years, "Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare" has been performed in the darkest corners and diviest bars in the U.K., and the cast is bringing the good time to Austin. Side-splitting, raucous and completely interactive, the show is fresh off sell-out runs at the Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe festivals, where a cast member drinks beer, wine and whiskey on stage, drunkenly sings the "Dawson's Creek" theme song and occasionally (accidentally, of course) bares a nipple or two. Brush up on your Bard knowledge, and head down to The Rockwell near Boston for "The Taming of the Shrew", because this is Shakespeare as you never knew you wanted to see him before. [less-]

The Headless Horseman rides again -- on an actual horse -- as "The Sleepy Hollow Experience" returns to the living history museum known as Old Sturbridge Village with its goosebump-inducing mix of immersive outdoor storytelling, seasonal scares and spectacular special effects. Thrills, chills and even some laughs are provided as this period-perfect production puts you down right in the middle of Washington Irving's classic ghost story, where you'll follow a roving band of minstrels across the grounds to learn all about bumbling schoolteacher Ichabod Crane, his love for beautiful Katrina and his rivalry with the brutish Brom Bones. The "Worcester Telegram & Gazette" warns that intense feels may come from "witnessing the drama unfold in real time and, sometimes, too close for comfort." So it's about as close to a real-life "Westworld" experience as you can get without the killer robots. [less-]

Come party like it's 1929, as Bull Mansion turns into the Haunted Speakeasy this Halloween season. The veil lifts at this historic spot in downtown Worcester to reveal scenes from the town's ghostly past. Dance and enjoy spirits (booo) and spirits (*wink*) as 1920s music (and a few contemporary songs reVAMPed for that flapper feel) fill the ballroom, thanks to resident Speakeasy Spectacle Niki Luparelli and the Gold Diggers, interspersed with just the right amount of floor performances by some of New England's best burlesque and variety acts. Wanna know what ossified your Granny? What zozzled your Pops? Purchase one of their Prohibition Era cocktails and enter the Haunted '20s costume contest for an extra kick. [less-]

The disco-fueled interactive dance party known as "The Donkey Show", very loosely inspired by Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", puts you smack in the middle of the action in a funky Cambridge lounge setting. Featuring two full bars and a dance floor, OBERON's Diane Paulus-created wonderland was inspired by Studio 54 in its heyday, when celebrities and art icons would mix and mingle with kids from Queens, and the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack would be shaking the speakers. While you -- and the rest of the audience -- drink, dance to disco classics or just check out the action, the motley crew of characters in this glammed-up, sex-fueled version of Shakespeare's play re-enact the hilariously chaotic tale of a magic elixir that wreaks havoc at the nightclub. But it's mostly just a cool boogie-filled bash. [less-]

Don't forget to stop in at Abigail's Tea Room for a colonial teatime or a hearty lunch. It all adds up to a vibrant experience that will bring this legendary chapter of our history to life. TripAdvisor users voted it the Best Family Museum in Boston and Yankee Magazine named it Best New Museum. [less-]

Improv comedy and Broadway musicals collide in "Boston's Unscripted Musical Project". The B.U.M.P. troupe takes a single suggestion from the audience and uses it to spontaneously create a fully improvised one-act musical spectacular. The heroes and villains invent hilarious lyrics and choreography to tell their story, while a full band dreams up a score to match. Because every show is totally unique, you never know just what B.U.M.P. will come up with, but with veterans of Chicago's legendary Second City and Improv Olympic as well as ImprovBoston and Improv Asylum performing, you can be sure this show won't be your typical Broadway musical. Experience the mirth at Davis Square Theatre in Somerville. [less-]

Fans of "Drunk History" and all its slurred education will fall over laughing at Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare, where an entirely serious Shakespeare play is performed with one entirely inebriated cast member. For the last six years, Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare has been performed in the darkest corners and diviest bars in the UK, and the cast is now bringing the good time to Boston. Side-splitting, raucous and completely interactive, the show is fresh off sell-out runs at the Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe festivals, where a cast member drinks beer, wine and whiskey on stage, drunkenly sings the "Dawson's Creek" theme song and occasionally (accidentally, of course) bares a nipple or two. Brush up on your Bard knowledge, and head over to The Rockwell for a drunken twist on "Romeo and Juliet", because this is Shakespeare as you never knew you wanted to see him before. [less-]
