I Hate Hamlet

Author: admin

(info from Lamplite Theatre, thanks for sharing!)

Celebrate the Halloween season with this romantic comedy which is also a hilarious Ghost Story. John Barrymore, a dashing actor famous for his portrayal of Hamlet (in the 1920s) comes back from the beyond to coach a nervous young TV actor slated to play the same part in New York’s Shakespeare in the Park. Barrymore coaches the young actor in the art of acting and the art of seducing a woman. The delightful comedy features fighting, séances, and romance – all with a comic twist. The cast includes Tiffany Gauntt, Justin Hughes, Tim Hogle, Bill Small, LaChanda Maxie and Sarah McMullan.

Fridays & Saturdays, October 31, November 1, 7, 8 – 7:30 p.m.

Sundays, November 2 & 9 – 2:00 p.m.
