Ode to the Wasp Woman opens November 9, 2023, and runs until January 31, 2024, at the Actors Temple Theater in New York City. We caught up with playwright and director Rider McDowell, stage manager Matthew Palmer, and actors David Wenzel, Jonathan Hartman, Douglas Davis, and Payton Georgiana to discuss what we can expect, the inspiration, and what's next for the two.  

The new film, Hamlet/Horatio, held its first public screening at New York City’s Chain Theatre last weekend. We spoke with Hamlet/Horatio's producer, David Wenzel about the film’s creation, storyline, and the power of creative collaboration.

Hamlet/Horatio is the result of a 20-year collaboration of forward-thinking professionals in the movie industry, with producer David Wenzel and writer David Vando coming together to celebrate the power of love to transcend corruption and evil.

Hamlet/Horatio has been a 20-year collaboration between producer David Wenzel and writer David Vando. The film celebrates the power of love to transcend corruption and evil driven by Horatio's mission to keep Hamlet's spirit alive, even after death.
