Andrew, an aspiring actor, has landed the role of a lifetime as Hamlet. There is just one problem — he hates Hamlet. As fate would have it, Andrew’s new Manhattan residence is the former apartment of the brilliant actor John Barrymore, whose portrayal of Hamlet was legendary. When Barrymore’s ghost appears to Andrew, he mentors Andrew on all the tricks of the trade. Will Andrew’s debut be a triumph or a tragedy? Find out in this fast-paced, fencing-packed and funny play.

If you are interested in receiving two free tickets, email the UNMC events coordinator to reserve them. There are a limited number of tickets, and only two tickets are available per person. The tickets will be available at the will-call window at the playhouse.

The doors will open at approximately 7 p.m. Thursday for general admission seating and the show is at 7:30 p.m. The Omaha Community Playhouse is located at 6915 Cass St., Omaha.
