Hamlet
by Walking Shadow Shakespeare

Jan. 07 - Jan. 25, 2025
Thursdays-Sundays

An immersive six-actor production of Shakespeare's Hamlet will be collaboratively directed by the ensemble

This January we invite you to immerse yourself in Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy Hamlet, where the lines between actor and audience blur. This production, collaboratively directed by the ensemble, challenges the audience to engage with the themes of loss, grief, familial obligation, and the eternal question of whether ghosts are real—spoiler alert: they are, except when they’re not.

Two distinct ticket types are available to cater to different viewing preferences:


Immersive: Enjoy a close-up view of the action as the actors perform all around you, and maybe right at your table. You may even be asked to take part, but will be able to indicate degree of willingness on the night without pressure.


Standard: For those who prefer a more traditional viewing, this option offers rows of theatre seating. Though still an intimate setting, the actors won’t be in your space.

The goal of this Hamlet is to have a conversation with the audience and extend an invitation to explore human struggles in a way that resonates with both Shakespeare’s original vision and today’s world.

Featuring Aleena Azhar, Brian Hensley, Chelsea Manasseri, Diego Arroyo Aceves, Giulia Garbani, Hector Rae Fox, Leah Luna, Mike Crugnola, Sibonelo Shezi, Stephanie Crugnola, Uzziel Ruiz Ortiz
