[THEATRE]One Song Productions Presents: Hamlet
One Song Productions presents William Shakespeare's timeless tale of tragedy and revenge. The most famous and complex of all Shakespeare's plays, Hamlet tells the story of a young man who commits himself to revenge the murder of his father. We follow Hamlet through this process and observe the changes that transpire within him, from the first moments of his discovery to the moment when he comes to accept his fate saying, "the readiness is all." One Song Productions is run entirely by high school students from around the Triangle.

Princess Dragon Productions Presents: Mama Juggs: Three Generations Healing Fractured Body Images
Written and performed by ‘rie Shontel, Mama Juggs is a powerful monologue in four parts about female body awareness. Each character-- Teen Anita (age 17), Maternal Anita (age 27), Mable-Marie (age 47); and Suga Babe, (age 100) - will transport the audience into an intimate view of a woman's body image. Collectively, they face breast cancer, late puberty, old age, and breast feeding in their Oakland Housing Project living room. Throughout the show ‘rie sings original acapella breast-feeding songs passed down from her great-grandmother Suga Babe. This compelling show portrays how cultural taboos led to discovering identity and hope in her family.
