A Night in the Theater
Syracuse Shakespeare-in-the-Park

Price: $25
Grace Episcopal Church
819 Madison St., Syracuse

Margaret and Stanley Locker and their friends, Donna and Walter Pace, are at the theatre for their weekly dose of culture. This week's ordeal is Hamlet. After they seat themselves with some confusion, the play consists of their incessant and hilarious chatter about themselves, their children, a dead friend and even occasionally Shakespeare's play. Secrets emerge and friendships unravel amid the audiences' laughter. You may even recognize these rude playgoers as the obnoxious people who sometimes sit behind you.

Saturday's performance will be followed by the 2nd annual Cool Beans Costume Competition in honor of our longtime costumer Barbara Toman.
