This Thursday, The Celebration Company at the Station Theatre in Urbana will open its production of Hamlet by William Shakespeare (arguably the most popular play ever written). The chance to see it in such an intimate setting coupled by the fact that director Mathew Green has paired down the length to a managable 2 hour show is reason enough to go see it. Add the bonus of a modernized setting and casting my bad-ass wife as Hamlet and we've got ourselves a show. Oh yeah - I wrote some music for it. I'm guessing it's gonna be some top shelf entertainment. Make your reservations here.

Next week, the Celebration Company at the Station Theatre in Urbana, IL will launch its 40th season.  I've been frequenting the Station for close to 15 years now.  My wife has starred in several productions (Eurydice, My Name is Rachel Corrie, Whitey, and Suburbia, among others).  I myself have composed some original compositions (Couples Counseling Killed Katie) and my son lent his voice as the boy in Rabbit Hole.  Depsite this history, it was only yesterday that I realized Nick Offerman was a Station veteran.  You may know him as Ron Swanson on NBC's Parks and Recreation.  Nick cut his teeth on our tiny little community stage.  Way gone.
