Cast Announced for WOMEN PLAYING HAMLET at Village Players

vp_logoThe cast has been selected for Village Players February production WOMEN PLAYING HAMLET. DISCLAIMER: This is not HAMLET!

This is the extremely funny story of the doubts, temptations, and mishaps a woman suffers when chosen to play what is perhaps Shakespeare’s most famous (male) character in an off-Broadway production (including an unfortunate altercation with Sir Patrick Stewart).

February 15-23, 2019 at Village Players
www.VillagePlayers.org

The cast includes:

  • Elizabeth Beatty …Jessica (plays Hamlet)…
  • Cat Cook … acting coach, humanities professor, and ghost
  • Patricia Mullins… Starbucks barrista, priest, bicycle messenger, Jessica’s niece, barfly, Home Shopping Network model, and soap opera starlet.
  • Heather Abbott… Lord Derby, Jessica’s mother, male psychiatrist, bartender, Home Shopping Network hostess, soap opera star, gravedigger, and stage manager.

Directed by Steve Phelan. Performances run Feb. 15-23.

[Fort Thomas]

Directed by Dan Maloney

Cast: Nathan Henegar as Judas Iscariot, Meagan L. Blasch as Fabiana Aziza Cunningham, Scott Unes as Yusef El-Fayoumy, Chris Bishop as Judge Littlefield/Caiaphas the Elder, C.J.

Hilarious and thought-provoking, this play asks one of the most intriguing questions in Christian ideology:What happened to Judas? Was he the duplicitous master of his own fate, a much-suffering pawn, or just a man who made a mistake? Set in a courtroom in Purgatory and featuring a zany cast of characters, “Iscariot” is sure to make audiences reconsider forgiveness, faith and one of history’s most infamous figures. ADULT THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.

THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT is an uproarious, poignant, thought-provoking work by Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis. Boasting a large cast of zany characters, it asks one of the most plaguing questions in the Christian ideology: What happened to Judas Iscariot?

Set in a time-bending, imagined world between Heaven and Hell, Judas’ case is put to a hilarious, riotous, piercing trial – the results of which are sure to make the inhabitants of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory — and the audience — reconsider what each thought they knew about forgiveness, faith, and the human inside one of the history’s most infamous figures.
