Tuesday, Oct. 22: "Hamlet"

Minnaert Center

By Ron Swarner on October 14, 2013

You have one chance to see The Acting Company's production of Hamlet so err not. The national touring company presents the tale of a young man who finds his father has been murdered and must avenge the horrid deed. Power politics, a haunting, a love story, murder, revenge and great fight scenes converge in one production. Hamlet also provides some of the most quotable lines in theater, such as "to thine own self be true" and the "to be or not to be" monologue. Whatever you do, do not say the speech along with the actor, that's soooo annoying. That's like those people who sing along to your favorite song. Then you can't even hear the song anymore because you-know-who is trying to impress himself with his own voice. Just let the professionals handle it, OK?

HAMLET, 7:30 p.m., South Puget Sound Community College, Minnaert Center, 2011 Mottman Road SW., Olympia, $10-$15, free to SPSCC faculty, staff and students, 360.753.8586
