Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of Southern Winds Theatre's WOMEN PLAYING HAMLET
Southern Winds Theatre presents the Central Florida Premiere of WOMEN PLAYING HAMLET by William Missouri Downs, directed by David McElroy. Scroll down for a sneak peek at the cast!
WOMEN PLAYING HAMLET has an all-female cast. In his day all Shakespeare's characters were played by men, in Mr. Downs play four women play 19 parts, including male characters.
This funny, thought provoking new work follows a quirky actress who struggles with being cast in the classic role of Hamlet. Many women have played Hamlet from Judi Dench to Dame Judith Anderson. The character of Jessica auditions for Ophelia but ends up playing the famous Danish Prince - Hamlet - and comedy ensues!
The play features Chloe McElroy as Jessica, a University of Central Florida Theatre major, along with Danielle Miller as Actress 2 another University of Central Florida Theatre major. Marylin McGinnis is Actress 1 and rounding out the cast Courtney Bahr as Actress 3. Southern Winds Theatre's stage manager is Catherine Klemke, a senior at University of Central Florida, majoring in stage management.
Presented at The Venue - 511 Virginia Drive, Orlando FL 32803 on Friday, September 11 and Saturday, September 12 at 7 PM and Sunday, September 13 at 2:30 PM, then Saturday, September 19 at 7 PM and Sunday, September 20 at 2:30 PM and 7 PM. Monday, September 21 at 7 PM.
