The Comedy "Barbecuing Hamlet" Through May 7
by Annette Phelps via NEohioPAL 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Spotlights Theater Presents the Comedy "BARBECUING HAMLET” Leave your cares at the door and come enjoy this light-hearted comedy about a community theater's efforts to produce Shakespeare's "Hamlet". The Broadview Heights Spotlights Community Theater will present the show on Fridays and Saturdays, through May 7 at 7:30 PM. There will be a Sunday Matinee on May 1 at 3:00 PM. The theater is located on the Broadview Center property, 9543 Broadview Road (behind the Police Department). Tickets are $13 for adults and $12 for Seniors/Students, and include complimentary refreshments. They can be purchased online at www.broadview-heights-spotlights.org where guests can also choose their seats, or they can be purchased at the door (if available). For more information, call 440-526-4404. The show is about director Margo Daley who always thought it would be fun to direct "Hamlet". . . until she is hired to do just that by the Peaceful Glen Memorial Players in their theater, a renovated funeral home. They DO have a couple of conditions, however. Margo has to make the play a melodrama, she has to insert the sponsors' names into the play and, it 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 several parts 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." The show is directed by Brenton Cochran and features Tara Corkery, Bob Kenderes, Jaclyn Phelps, Matthew Wilks, Kayleigh Joyce, MaryBeth Hobson, Adam Bowers, Kevin Cline, Stephanie Malfara, Sharon Joyce, Susan Jeromson, Brett Heidinger, and Annette Phelps. It is produced by special arrangement with Eldridge Publishing Company.
