Location: Exact address given in confirmation email ? Lecture: "Shakespeare Riots & Culture Wars in 19th-Century America" ? Speaker: Dr. Charley Binkow Join us for a gripping evening as Dr. Charley Binkow uncovers how a dispute over Shakespeare turned deadly on the streets of New York City. In 1849, rival productions of Macbeth sparked the Astor Place Riot, leaving nearly 30 people dead and exposing deep tensions over class, immigration, and national identity.Far from a mere theater controversy, the riot revealed how culture can become a flashpoint for broader social conflicts—pitting working-class audiences against elite patrons, nativists against immigrants, and competing visions of what it meant to be “American” in a rapidly changing city. Dr. Binkow will trace how Shakespeare became a battleground in 19th-century America and connect these events to other cultural flashpoints in U.S. history, examining how art, politics, and violence often collide.Dr. Charley Binkow earned his PhD in American History from Boston University in 2023 and currently teaches American and World History at Loyola High School in Los Angeles.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! ?Agenda7:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.7:55 PM – Host introduction8:00 PM – Lecture begins8:45 PM – Audience Q&A9:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round9:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/los-angeles/lectures-on-tap-shakespeare-riots-and-culture-wars-in-19th-century-america/100001984834171437 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Los Angeles - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Hollywood - **lat**: 34.0895186 - **long**: -118.3315838 - **full address**: Hollywood, Hollywood, Los Angeles, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lectures on Tap - Shakespeare Riots & Culture Wars in 19th-Century America - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/778709d07c08b4e523cdfcaca7e2c40c50296ad528462a9b741d73fc0a32e3e2-rimg-w1200-h600-dce0e1da-gmir.jpg?v=1774212695 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lectures on Tap - Shakespeare Riots & Culture Wars in 19th-Century America being held? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - Shakespeare Riots & Culture Wars in 19th-Century America takes place on Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 pm at Hollywood, Hollywood, Los Angeles, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Lectures on Tap - Shakespeare Riots & Culture Wars in 19th-Century America? - **A:** Tickets for Lectures on Tap - Shakespeare Riots & Culture Wars in 19th-Century America are priced at USD 39 per person.
