SHS Fall Play: Bernhardt/Hamlet 11/15-11/16:
Caption
The SHS Drama Club I would like to invite you to attend this year's Fall Play, Bernhardt/Hamlet.
Mark Twain wrote: “There are five kinds of actresses: bad actresses, fair actresses, good actresses, great actresses – and then there is Sarah Bernhardt.” In 1899, the international stage celebrity set out to tackle her most ambitious role yet: Hamlet. Theresa Rebeck’s new play rollicks with high comedy and human drama, set against the lavish Shakespearean production that could make or break Bernhardt’s career.
Performances are on Friday, November 15 and Saturday, November 16 at 7pm both days. Tickets are $5 each, cash only, at the door. Attached is the poster and a list of cast/crew members.
We look forward to seeing ...
