A drinking game musical stage reading of Hercules, with audience drinking cues, at Bryant Lake Bowl.
A Drinking Game MN brings Hercules to Bryant Lake Bowl on Saturday, November 7, for a musical stage reading that doubles as a drinking game. The premise is simple: the audience follows along with the show and drinks whenever specific cues come up in the script. It's a stage reading, so you're seeing the material worked through in front of you rather than a fully mounted production, and the drinking cues turn the whole room into part of the performance.
Bryant Lake Bowl is a good fit for this kind of night. The theater is small—about 85 seats—and the stage is 9' x 22', so you're close to the action. It's also a full restaurant and bar, which is helpful when the show itself is telling you when to drink. The venue has hosted a wide range of acts over the years, from the holiday favorite A Very Die Hard Christmas to musicians like Dan Wilson, The Civil Wars, Jeremy Messersmith and Soccer Mommy, so it's used to a mix of theater and live music.

Hercules runs from 9:30 PM to 11:30 PM, and all shows are general admission on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you want a good spot, you'll want to get there early. The full restaurant and bar menus are served inside the theater, so you can grab food and drinks without leaving your seat.
