Thank you to everyone who auditioned for HAMLET! We were amazed at the sheer enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and talent you all put on display during the whole audition process — everyone did a wonderful job. Casting this show was truly difficult and we wish we could have cast everyone who came to audition for us. We are deeply grateful for the effort everyone put forth during this process!

With this list released, you now have the duration of the signing period (6PM today to 6PM Wednesday) to accept or decline your role. We cannot initiate contact with you during this period, but we can answer any questions you have when you reach out to us, whether those be about role(s), the production, or the signing process! Please feel free to reach out, we are more than happy to talk with you about the show! You can reach out to Lucas Walsh at [email protected] with any questions you may have about these topics.
