Berko review: HAMLET @ Great Lakes Theater
by Roy Berko via NEohioPAL 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••• * *Capsule judgment; The preview performance of “Hamlet” grabbed and held the audience’s attention. Laura Welsh Berg was convincing and gave a “different” dimension to the role of the Prince of Denmark. Though Shakespeare traditionalists may scream “something is rotten in the state of Denmark” (GLT), others who see the “female” version of the play should leave saying, “Good-night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.” * *To read the whole review of HAMLET go to: www.royberko.info <http://www.royberko.info>* *•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

The Imaginary Playwrights' Festival will offer guidance and support to imaginary playwrights as they work to bring their hypothetical plays from the pretend page to the non-corporeal stage. Imaginary playwrights will work with a daydream director and make-believe actors to create an exciting, edgy, worthwhile play that will somehow appeal to mainstream regional theatre audiences. Imaginary playwrights will each be assigned their own dramaturg who will be helpful and informative. Imaginary playwrights will also have the opportunity to take advantage of exciting master classes taught by some of theatre's most thrilling imaginary playwrights, including Mr Snuffleupagus, Harvey the Rabbit, and America's favorite fairytale creature, Erin Mallon <http://facebook.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> ! Participation in The Imaginary Playwrights' Festival includes a $500 stipend for meals and magical blanket to protect you from the dark. A Message from Our Literary Manager: - The Imaginary Playwrights' Festival is open to *imaginary* individuals only! Anyone who experiences physical reality is barred from submitting. That being said, all imaginary individuals are invited and encouraged to submit, including childhood imaginary friends, drug-induced hallucinations, and any of the three-million Trump Inauguration attendees. - Despite all evidence to the contrary, Stephen Miller is real, and therefore disqualified. Lock your door at night. - $35 submission fee NONNEGOTIABLE! - Plays must be submitted written on a selkie's coat without the author's name or contact info. A separate title page with name and contact info should be submitted on the wings of a dragonfly. - Musicals and children's plays will NOT be considered. *Raise a Glass to The Marcus Alonzo Hanna Foundation!* The Manhattan Project Imaginary Playwrights' Festival was made possible by a generous $30,000 grant from the Marcus Alonzo Hanna Foundation. The MAHF has been a steadfast patron of The Manhattan Project as well as other beloved Cleveland institutions like the Ohio Pierogie Museum, Snaketoberfest, and Frank Jackson's latest mayoral campaign! *Note*: Imaginary playwrights receive $500 for food and magical blanket expenses. The rest of the graft--we mean grant is directed towards supporting the Imaginary Playwrights' Festival in the form of imaginary actor expenses, imaginary overhead, and a real live horse! I'M GETTING A HORSE!!! :) Submit Now! Deadline is April 5*i* at 11:55pm. Don't miss this amazing, actually happening opportunity! Many will put entering on their vision boards, few will win!
