Murder. Revenge. Ghosts. Sword fighting. All of these are at the center of the greatest play ever written. KidstheatreWEST’s Hamlet camp will meet from June 11th- 23rd, for actors ages 11-18 at Aspen Academy. During this camp, actors will learn the meaning of Hamlet and develop a deeper understanding of Shakespeare and his masterpiece. All actors will be cast in the show and we will be performing a cut-down version of Shakespeare’s words. This is not a “school version” of the play, but a shortened version of the original play that includes all of the well know speeches. Camp will include guest artists who will teach various subjects, including stage combat, sword play and acting Shakespeare. The final show will be at the 300 seat Eugenia Rawls Theatre on the Auraria campus. Hamlet will run June 22 @ 8pm and 23rd at 2 pm and 7 pm, and have professional costumes, lights and sound. Camp meets from 9-4, Monday through Friday, with before and aftercare available. Questions? visit our FAQ page.
