A cast of nine actors will bring to life this hilarious twist on Shakespeare&#8217;s <em>Hamlet<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Showing events from the point of view of two minor characters from <em>Hamlet<\/em> who have no control over their destiny, this play examines fate and asks, Can we ever really know what&#8217;s going on? Are answers as important as questions? Will Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (or Guildenstern and Rosencrantz) manage to discover the source of Hamlet&#8217;s malaise as requested by the new king? Will the mysterious players who are strolling around the castle reveal the secrets they evidently know? And whose serve is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kings and Queens, a play within a play within a play, pirates and players, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead challenges both performers and theater audiences with verbal and physical gymnastics, literary allusions, and a humorous romp through one of the greatest plays of the 20th Century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/blueandwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2022\/03\/Ros-and-Guil-cover.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/blueandwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2022\/03\/Ros-and-Guil-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74014\" \/><\/a><figcaption><strong>March 30-April 3 at 7 p.m. and April 2-3 at 2 p.m<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CAST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rosencrantz: Abigail Willis<\/li><li>Guildenstern: Graham Mastro<\/li><li>The Player: Zoei Ortega<\/li><li>Hamlet: Cody Farkas<\/li><li>Claudius: Jacob Roland<\/li><li>Gertrude: Kelsey Williams<\/li><li>Polonius: Jaden Bush<\/li><li>Ophelia: Nya During<\/li><li>Alfred: Donald Hill<\/li><li>Tragedians, Pirates, et al: Autumn McNew, Josue Maldonado<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CREATIVE TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Director: Betty-Jane Parks<\/li><li>Scenic Design: Scott Cooper<\/li><li>Costume Design: Katrina Stevenson<\/li><li>Lighting Design: Celeste Mannerud<\/li><li>Sound Design: Sydney Hayes<\/li><li>Stage Manager: Meyeh Fortier<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPC Theater Department presents Tom Stoppard&#8217;s absurdist existential comedy in the Arts Auditorium on the Clearwater Campus March 30-April 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1948,"featured_media":12595,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[174,34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts-humanities-design-all","category-theater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1948"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12619"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12623,"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12619\/revisions\/12623"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/arts-humanities-design-educational-information\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
