Join Owasso Theatre Company for a hilarious new show, Barbecuing Hamlet!
Wouldn’t it be great fun to direct William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”? That was what Margo Daley always thought…until she is hired to do just that by the Peaceful Glen Memorial Players in their theater, a renovated funeral home. As soon as she arrives, things start to go downhill. First of all, the actors can’t be too loud because the lady who lives under the theater bangs her cane on the stage. Oh, and Margo has to insert the sponsors’ names into the play which, by the way, has to take place in the Old West. All kinds of eccentric characters come out of the woodwork in this riotous tribute to life on the community theater stage. Even the pizza delivery boy is given parts – several since Margo only has four actors to portray the five-act tragedy. Fast lines and even faster exits punctuate this farce as Margo and her troupe of misguided actors find out what it’s like when they begin “Barbecuing Hamlet.”
4 performances May 2-4; nightly at 7 pm, plus a 2 pm Saturday matinee. Owasso 7th Grade Center, 1400 N Main St.
