The hilarious inverted tale of Hamlet through the eyes of the two minor friends of the Dane. See what goes on in the bumbling world of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (or is it Guildenstern and Rosencrantz?) while the plot of Hamlet plays out in the background. Contains some adult language and situations.

Join the cast and crew members for a Question and Answer session on Sunday May 18 after the show!

Behind the Scenes With Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead: An affordable fundraiser you can really get "behind"!

You're invited Behind the Scenes...Join us on Wednesday May 21 as we show you what it takes to put on a show at the Shakespeare Tavern. From auditioning (the good, the bad and the "What were they thinking?") to vocal warm up (did you know that the forehead makes a "kee!" sound and the hips make a "woo..." sound?) and everything in between, we'll give you a lighthearted and informative look into the magic and mayhem of theatre! We only do this once a year, because it takes that long to heal from all the laughter. (Does not include full performance. Running time shouldn't be more than 2 hours)

Tickets are $25. General Admission seating Seating starts at 6:15pm. Food and beverages available for purchase before the show. Get tickets!

7:30pm showtime

Silent auction before show and during intermission.

All proceeds go to our Education Department: They make the world safe through iambic pentameter.

We'll be announcing our 2008-09 season at the end of the evening!
