dwight yoakam Few entertainers have attained the iconic status of Dwight Yoakam. Perhaps that is because so few have consistently and repeatedly met the high standard of excellence delivered by the Kentucky native no matter what his endeavor. His name immediately conjures up compelling, provocative images: a pale cowboy hat with the brim pulled low; poured-on blue jeans; intricate catchy melodies paired with poignant, brilliant lyrics that mesmerize with their indelible imprint. Then there’s Yoakam the actor, impressively standing toe-to-toe with some of the world’s top thespians, including Jodie Foster, Tommy Lee Jones, Forest Whitaker and Nicolas Cage. There’s also Yoakam the entrepreneur. Add it all up and you have a singular talent without peer.

The Acting Company takes on William Shakespeare’s Hamlet for the first time in its 40-year history. Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the play dramatizes the revenge Prince Hamlet exacts for his father’s murder. It vividly portrays overwhelming grief and rage while exploring themes of danger, vengeance and moral corruption. Hamlet is among the most powerful and influential tragedies in English literature and many believe it is the best of Shakespeare’s work, the perfect play and certainly one of his most well-known and oft-quoted. Ian Belknap, Artistic Director of The Acting Company, brings this masterpiece to life. The Acting Company is America’s premier touring repertory theater, founded by John Houseman, with alumni including Kevin Kline, Rainn Wilson, and Patti LuPone to name a few.
