Famed theater director Charles Marowitz says, “Our job is to re-trace, re-discover, reconsider, and re-angle the classics – not simply regurgitate them.” This best describes our coming adventure with THE HAMLET PROJECT (and the entire 2012 Festival Season for that matter).

This eight-month commitment is designed for the L.A. Drama Club  Extremists and Shakespeare “Geeks,” who are as passionate about the process as they are about the performance.

Hamlet’s text, themes, characters, plots, subplots are for those who seek a challenge, a creative outlet, greater than is being offered in school. You initiators who want a stab at Creative Control, yet thrive on working as a ensemble. Now it is our turn to tell this story as this unique group of ten passionate Players experiences it.

Discussion, writing, experimental games and adventurous acting…The Hamlet Project will be “living” with this work for eight months, and performing it in SYFLA’s Season in Spring.

THE HAMLET PROJECT will be like no other work we have done before. Give this careful consideration before committing. This is something you will take with you for the rest of your lives.
