I Hate Hamlet September 3 - 5Location: Blue Ridge Community Theater
The laughter continues as we enjoy our third play of the season celebrating the year of comedy. Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity and acclaim from his starring role in a hit television series; a rich beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew's series has been canceled; his girlfriend is clinging to her virginity with unyielding conviction; and he has no desire to play Hamlet. When the ghost of John Barrymore and a pushy L.A. agent show up, Andrews life is no longer his own. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park. Tickets are $15.00, show runs 4 weekends, Friday and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and a 2:00 PM performance on Sunday's. For more information call the Blue Ridge Community Theater 706-632-9223 or visit
