'All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.

--As You Like It, Act II 


Amateur dramatics without any of the stress: we pick the parts we want, then read the plays out-loud. No need for costume, props, or silly accents; just normal people.

Here, normal people get together, in a quiet location, to read Shakespeare's plays and make The Bard alive--not dead on the page, as he was in high school.
