ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD runs Nov. 18-27

ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD
Presented by Thomas More College Villa Players
Nov. 18-27
Crestview Hills

The play concerns the misadventures and musings of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet who are childhood friends of the prince, focusing on their actions with the events of Hamlet as background. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is structured as the inverse of Hamlet; the title characters are the leads, not supporting players, and Hamlet himself has only a small part. The duo appears on stage here when they are off-stage in Shakespeare’s play, with the exception of a few short scenes in which the dramatic events of both plays coincide. -Wikipedia

OKLAHOMA!
Presented by UC College-Conservatory of Music

Reviews: Enquirer |

The first “mature” American musical, OKLAHOMA! is the most beloved show by the legendary Broadway team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Described by the New York Post as “Always new and gleaming… a hymn to the magic of the land, the humor and humanity of people and the simple potency of love,” this award-winning musical integrates story, song and dance into a beguiling tale of the pioneering men and women who forged the state of Oklahoma at the turn of the 20th century.

At the gathering, Dad comes back as a ghost with a mission; to tell his wife of 35 years that he loved her, something he neglected to tell her while he was alive.
