Piedmont Shakespeare Company has announced that its inaugural play will be Hamlet!

“If you aren’t sure what theater is for, I think ‘Hamlet’ can remind us all…It can feel like there is no part of the human experience the play doesn’t touch on: family, revenge, romance, ambition, power, grief.”

-Carl Forsman, co-artistic director, Piedmont Shakespeare Company

We are thrilled to host a Signing Social at their Greensboro presentation of this legendary play, which will include ASL interpretation! It’s free to attend, but you should register in advance! Register here, and learn more on their website. When registering, please note you must select ‘ASL Interpretation’ section to be seated near the interpreter!

We’ll meet at 7:00pm in the lobby outside of the Van Dyke Performance Space to mingle and chat before heading inside. The play begins at 7:30pm, and has a 2.5 hour run time with an intermission.

Reserve your tickets today, and we look forward to seeing you there!
