About Becoming Hamlet
Don't just watch Hamlet -- be Hamlet!
Becoming Hamlet is a participatory theater experience told entirely from Hamlet’s perspective, where the audience collectively becomes the prince. In this first-person adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic play, we invite you into Hamlet's inner world: to speak the speech, feel the feelings, and shape the unique character that emerges each night. Whether you choose to voice the text or watch the drama unfold from designated observer seating, a stellar cast of professional performers will facilitate your evening, meeting you exactly where you are.

An immersive theatrical experience where the audience does more than watch Hamlet: they step into the story and speak the lines with an outstanding cast. Each performance is unique, and the one I attended was meaningful, memorable, and certainly beyond my expectations.
85/100 An original, successful version of Hamlet (more accessible than usual). The acting was very good, but not great. The audience "actors" varied greatly in their abilities. The run time was just shy of 2 hrs (w/o intermission).
This interactive Hamlet was surprisingly moving. Audience participation was fun and did not detract from the flow or impact. The acting and directing are superb! I highly recommend it!
