"Hamlet" is a challenge for any actor, but when Jessica is cast as the title character in a New York production, it sends her into a comic tailspin. It doesn't help that her acting coach is borderline abusive, or that every Starbucks barista with an MFA tells her she's too young for the role. Or that somehow she's managed to make Sir Patrick Stewart her nemesis. How can Jessica figure out "to be or not to be" when she can't even figure out herself? Featuring an all-female cast performing multiple roles, "Women Playing Hamlet" is rip-roaring fun for Shakespeare fans and haters alike. Chad Cline will direct the production.
Cast (in alphabetical order): Merri Brewer as Actress #3, Lauren Ashley Hearn as Jessica, Madeleine Morris as Actress #2, Leslie Patrick as Actress #1, and Octavia Y. Thomas as Actress #4.
