Hamlet

Scottish Rite Theatre presents the greatest play of the English language: William Shakespeare's HAMLET.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark...  The king has died, and Prince Hamlet abruptly leaves his studies at university to return home.  Upon arriving, he is horrified to discover that his uncle has married his mother and taken the throne for himself.  Thoughts of grief turn bloody when a midnight encounter with the ghost of the old king saddles Hamlet with a heavy task: revenge his father's murder.  Not knowing what is true or whom to trust, Hamlet must fight for his soul, as he questions revenge, love, faith and mortality in this most modern of classical plays.

Also named "the greatest poem of the millennium," Shakespeare's most popular drama will finally be seen in the beautiful atmosphere of Austin's oldest and most majestic theatre!  Starring Austin Shakespeare favorites Justin Scalise as Hamlet and Babs George as Gertrude, and featuring an ensemble of the city's finest talent, this production under the direction of Austin newcomer Andrew Matthews promises to be an unforgettable experience.

Princess and the Pea

September 11-October 31
Based on the classic story by Hans Christian Andersen, Scottish Rite Children's Theatre presents a new adaptation.  A lonely prince wants to marry a princess but has great difficulty finding a suitable candidate...there is always something a bit odd with those he meets and he cannot be sure they are real princesses. Then one rainy night, a young lady finds the prince's castle and pleads to take shelter there. She claims to be a princess, but is she? The prince's mother plots to test the girl's sensitivity by secretly placing a pea in the bed she is offered for the night, to be covered by 20 mattresses and feather beds. Only a real princess would be so sensitive as to feel a pea through such a quantity of bedding! Come see how the story ends in the Kingdom of Happily Ever After!
