OCTOBER10/27 Timothy Mooney Repertory Theatre presents…Breakneck Hamlet!In this fast, epic, insightful, and funny introduction to one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays of all time, Breakneck Hamlet! asks questions such as “‘Why can’t Hamlet make up his mind?,’ ‘What is Hamlet’s real issue with Claudius?,’ and ‘What phrase of ‘To be or not to be’ makes sense of the whole speech?” By factoring in historical perspectives, Mooney leads the reader through the intimate thought processes of an actor working his way through the “Mount Everest of Theatrical Roles.” In this celebrated adaptation of Shakespeare’s play, Mooney discusses topics that may not seem obvious to the reader by revealing several clues that lead him to particular character choices which vividly distinguish Claudius from Hamlet, Laertes, Horatio, and others!

He currently resides in West Yellowstone, Montana, between the Tetons National Park and Yellowstone National Park as he pursues a career in wildlife photography. Since moving out west, he has written a book titled Moving West: A Journey From Georgia to Montana that documents his experiences and photographs from his first two years in Yellowstone.

11/7–11 Urinetown – The MusicalBook and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner Music by Frederick Loewe

When a city begins to suffer from a terrible water shortage caused by a 20-year drought, the government enforces a ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that charges admission to use the toilets. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom. In this hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself, the audience will see a different side to greed, love and revolution!

4/17-21Silent Skyby Lauren Gunderson

Based on the true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, this play explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. While working at the Harvard Observatory, Henrietta isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. She joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love.
