Hamlet Ride

About

I left this place to be someone else.
And when I am anywhere else, other than here, I get to be myself.
I swore that I was never coming back.
But here I am.

Step right up folx and take a spin on Hamlet Ride, where everyone has an assigned seat and a role to play… as long as they submit to the rules. In this 21st century reimagining of Hamlet, the prince returns home to attend father’s funeral as their true self, Hamletta. Centering a non-binary perspective while rallying those of us who still believe in humanity, equality, and truth, Hamlet Ride takes audiences on a fantastical voyage that celebrates differences without labels, and respect without judgment.
