Excerpt from the WCU website. Follow the link to read the full story:

The 2011-12 season includes four shows – two musicals and two comedies.

This season will open with the play I Hate Hamlet, directed by faculty member Claire Eye and written by Paul Rudnick. The New York Times describes the play as “unapologetically silly and at times hilarious. … Affectionately amusing about the theatre.” The play tells the story of hot, young television star Andrew Rally, who finds his career in limbo when his series is canceled. After relocating to New York, he is offered the role of Hamlet on stage. His life gets more complicated after meeting his roommate, the drunken ghost of John Barrymore.

Show dates for I Hate Hamlet are at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, Oct. 5-8, in Hoey Auditorium. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students, faculty, staff and seniors. Student tickets are $7 if purchased in advance.Read the full article
