For my senior English project in high school I created a parody Tiger Beat-style magazine featuring articles on all the heartthrobs of my high school English required reading, Hamlet being one of them. So when I tell you how I screamed upon hearing of this comedy theatre project taking seven iconic Shakespeare characters into a modern-day karaoke bar… Yes, folks, this is “an original one-act comedy featuring classic Shakespeare scenes, modern dialogue, and karaoke music.” Proof that there is nothing new under the sun, and there is nothing more timeless than ol’ Bill Shakespeare. – Kat McNevins
