The Community Betterment and Arts Council of Houston is sponsoring The Star Dramatic Co. as it performs “Barbecuing Hamlet” Saturday at the community building at the chamber fairgrounds.
Directed by Avery Parker, the play is a comedy farce set in the Old West about a small town theater group. The director always thought it would be great fun to direct William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” until she is hired to do just that by the Peaceful Glen Memorial Players in their theater, a renovated funeral home.
The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. Concessions include Ted Scroggins’ famous pulled pork sandwiches and Jan Squires’ scrumptious pies, as well as chips, popcorn, cookies, soda and water. Tickets are $10 at the door, $9 before July 9, $8 each or groups of 10 or more and $15 including pulled pork sandwich, chip and soda. Tickets may be purchased at Landmark Bank, or from Community Betterment members Ted Scroggins, Sally Smith, Jan Squires, Wilda McNiell, Judy Rouse, Primrose Casey, Doris and Verlin Altom or Elaine Campbell.
