To celebrate our 25th Anniversary, Shotgun Players will present a season in repertory with a core ensemble of actors. We begin with a radical production of the world theatre's most enduring classic. Hamlet is perhaps the one role in Shakespeare's canon that every one of us can identify with. Hamlet is someone's child, someone's lover, a friend, foe, philosopher, artist, critic, clown, politician, hero, villain... And so (drum roll please): Every actor of the ensemble will learn every role of the play. Moments before showtime, the cast lines up before the audience to pull their roles for the night out of Yorick's skull! They get 5 minutes to gather their wits and then the performance begins. It's a Hamlet roulette! Hamlet begins previews on March 31st, 2016 the Ashby Stage - will run as part of the repertory season through January 2017.
8pm to 10pm, The Ashby Stage, 1901 Ashby Avenue
