The Ferndale Repertory Theatre's 14th Annual All Teen Production laughs it up with Hamlet Through the Looking Glass, written by Thomas J. McCorry, a North Coast premiere of the comedic spoof on the Bard's most famous play. Hamlet: Through the Looking Glass is a look at the Prince of Denmark and the inhabitants of Elsinore as you have never seen them before.

Humboldt County teens make up the cast of this tall story. Directed by David Moore, Hamlet Through the Looking Glass begins March 1 and runs Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8PM, with one matinee on Sunday, March 11 at 2PM. Friday, March 9th, is the Actor's Benefit Night; all ticket sales go to the hardworking cast and crew. Ticket prices are $10 general and $5 for students. Discounts are available for school groups of ten or more. There are seven performances only.
