About the show: This comedic masterpiece explores the clash between Hollywood and classical theatre. Follow Andrew Rally, a TV actor reluctantly preparing to play Hamlet in Central Park. When he moves into John Barrymore's former apartment, he encounters the ghost of Barrymore, adding a supernatural twist to his struggle. Filled with uproarious moments and clever dialogue, this play is a rollercoaster of laughs, drama, and unexpected twists. Join us for an evening of comedic genius as we navigate the complexities of acting, love, and the timeless question – to Hamlet or not to Hamlet?
