The Hamlet Thrill-Ma-Geddon

After nearly a full semester of studio theater, Phoebe’s class performed The Hamlet Thrill-Ma-Geddon last night. Phoebe played Claudius. Theater teacher Ms. Mylott writes:

As usual, this will be a chaotic, creative theatre adventure.

The plays chosen, directed, designed and managed by the students are 2 very loosely based Shakespearean spoofs by the same playwright Don Zolidis:

In the first one-act, we meet everyone’s favorite mopey prince in Denmark with some corporate sponsorship thrown in for:

The Hamlet Thrill-ma-geddon

The second one-act will be a mash-up of King Lear, Game of Thrones, and Disney princesses called:

Game of Tiaras

Here are some photos and videos.

Phoebe gave me a marked-up script with scenes to shoot, but half the time I had my phone in “camera” mode instead of “video.” Therefore, I took a photo, then pointed the phone at the actors for the whole scene…only to discover my mistake at the end. Yes, I did this more than once. The videos that follow are what I actually managed to capture.
