HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s Columbia Theatre for the Performing
Arts will present Aquila Theatre in “Hamlet” for one performance only on Feb. 24 at
7:30 p.m.
According to Columbia Theatre/Fanfare Director Roy Blackwood, the production
by the acclaimed Aquila Theatre will include a twist to the production, as is customary
for the company, and is directed by Desiree Sanchez.
“Hamlet will seek to shed new light on this tragic story,” he said. “The production
uses movement, design, sound and superb acting to vividly explore the depths of rage,
madness, love and death brought about by a culture of obsessive personal ambition.”
Tickets for the production range from $30 to $40 and are available at the Columbia
Theatre box office Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. or by phone at (985)
543-4371. Patrons may also get tickets online at www.columbiatheatre.org.
Special $15 Southeastern student tickets are also offered for this production.
Students must present their university ID at the box office.
All Southeastern faculty, retired faculty or university staff with ID may purchase
one ticket for “Hamlet” and receive one ticket at half price. Both tickets must be
purchased in the same transaction and for the same price at the Columbia box office.
Contact the box office at 985-543-4371 for more information.
