Ophelia’s Ocean
The year is 2080. Human society is loveless and emotionless, and Samantha, a poet intrigued by the mystery of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, excavates the past to seek the truth about her father’s death.

The cast includes Mary Chang (narrator), Ayana Workman (Ophelia/Samantha), Jakeem Dante Powell (Hamlet/Robert), Justin Hofstad (Claudius/Nick), and Nicole Spinnler (Gertrude/Beatrice) with a musical ensemble featuring Reggie Workman (bassist/composer), Hanna Inui (pianist/music director), Elijah Thomas (flute), and Timothy Anguloa (drums/percussion).
