I Hate Hamlet

November
8-10 & 15-17, 2024

Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity and acclaim from his starring role in a hit television series; a rich, beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he hates Hamlet. Performances will be held at the Benton Heights Elementary School Performing Arts Center.

Thank You to all our volunteers!

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to our community theatre. Your time and effort do not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated. Your commitment to bringing the magic of live performance to our community is truly admirable. Thank you for all that you do.

About Us

The Union County Playmakers formed its board of directors and elected officers on Nov. 13, 2013, under the umbrella of the Union County Community Arts Council.  We had varied first season and have increased offerings every year.  Our board and staff are primarily committed volunteers, who give of both time and talent.

Currently we are performing in the community through partnerships with schools, churches, The City of Monroe Parks and Recreation and other organizations, as we search for our new home.  There has been theater in Union County off and on for decades, but we now think we have the stability we need to remain an enduring organization deeply integrated into the community.
