CCCT Presents "I Hate Hamlet"

Coal Creek Community Theater Presents I Hate Hamlet by Paul Rudnick

LOUISVILLE, CO – Coal Creek Community Theater will open their final show of their 21^st season on October 29^th.  I Hate Hamlet by Paul Rudnick, directed by Nita Froelich, will run through November 13^th at the Louisville Center for the Arts.  This smash comedy hit tells the story of Andrew Rally.  Andrew 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 Andrew's agent visits him, she reminisces about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew's apartment. This prompts a séance to summon his ghost. From the moment Barrymore returns, dressed in high Shakespearean garb, Andrew's life is no longer his own. Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his actor's destiny.
