Performances begin Nov. 7

The University of Central Arkansas’ Theatre Program is proud to present William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” one of the most enduring and powerful works in the English language.
Performance dates are Nov. 7, 8, 14 and 15 at 7 each night, and Nov. 9 and 16 at 2 p.m., at the James M. Bridges Black Box Theatre in the Windgate Center for the Fine and Performing Arts, 2150 Bruce St., Conway.
Directed by Professor Chris Fritzges, this production of “Hamlet” reimagines the classic tale of grief, revenge and moral conflict through a vaudeville-esque lens while remaining true to Shakespeare’s poetic brilliance. The cast features talented student actors from across the university, bringing depth and vitality to this iconic story of a prince haunted by betrayal and driven by the search for truth.
Audiences can expect a dynamic staging, contemporary design elements and an emotionally charged performance that bridges the gap between Elizabethan drama and today’s world.
UCA students, faculty and staff can receive free tickets at the door or at the Reynolds Performance Hall or Windgate box offices. General admission tickets are $10 and can be purchased online. Tickets may also be purchased at the Reynolds Box Office or Windgate Box Office Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or by calling UCA Ticket Central at (501) 450-3265 or (866) 810-0012.
