Hamlette: Shakespeare’s most recognizable and arguably best play, Hamlette the Princess of Denmark returns home to attend her mother’s funeral only to discover that her father has already remarried her dead mother’s sister. Things only get worse when Hamlette learns from her mother’s ghost that her aunt had murdered her. And now Hamlette must play a long game of intrigue and deception to obtain her revenge. And no, none of the pronouns were done by mistake. This will be a reverse gendered Hamlette presented by Bare Bones Shakespeare.

When villain Gerald Snively and his sidekick, Melinda Mooch, hit Oilwell, Texas, it’s rack and ruin from start to finish. From providing poor widow Lizzie Holiday a fake map to her dead husband’s oil well, to keeping apart true love between our hero, Eddie Allswell, and the angelic Belle, these two are evil personified! But naturally good triumphs and “all’s well with oil wells.” Performed by actors ages 10-18. (Melodrama)

It’s 1989, and all your buddies from high school are at the prom!

Jack and Charley invite Kitty and Amy to meet Charley’s wealthy aunt from Brazil, but she cancels at the last minute, leaving them without a chaperone. Desperate, the boys draft a college pal into a black satin skirt, bloomer, and a wig. As “Charley’s Aunt,” this charming frump wins over everyone, but when the real aunt turns up, classic comic confusion ensues. (Classic Comedy)

Titus Androgynous: The great Roman commander Titus Andronicus returns to Rome, having conquered the Goths. Upon discovering that the previous emperor has died, and that his eldest son Satiuninus has taken the throne Titus pledges his loyalty to the state, even to the point of disgracing his own children. What follows is a series of bloody events featuring treason, rape, mutilation, murder, and eventually cannibalism that makes up what is believed to be Shakespeare’s very first tragedy. Bare Bones’ production will be set in an 80’s glam rock universe where even the most horrific acts of violence are considered “totally rad man.”
