For six engagements in January, Westminster Presbyterian Church\u2019s Vanguard Theatre in Point Loma will present William Shakespeare\u2019s memorable tragedy “Hamlet” \u2014 but with a modern flavor to appeal to both traditional and younger audiences. This new production, directed by Tom Haine, features a company of dedicated and experienced actors committed to bringing the play to life. By giving the play a contemporary setting with “modern accessible associations,” students will be more easily able to identify with the characters, feeling more connected and closer to Shakespeare\u2019s language, the \u2018s themes and the emotions that run high throughout. Regular admission is $10, but education groups are eligible for benefits. For groups of eight or more, tickets are $5 each. Performance dates are at 7 p.m. on Jan. 6, 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15. On Saturday, Jan 14, students will have a chance to ask questions of the actors and director in a question-and-answer session held in the theater directly after the performance. Westminster Theatre is located at 3598 Talbot St. General admission prices are $10 and $5 for students, seniors and military.
