Finale Episode: August 14th
To Thine Own Self Be True
by Shannon Chinn
Henry’s doing pretty well, all things considered. Sure, his dad died three months ago and his mom’s new boyfriend is an asshole, but he’s got great grades, a great girlfriend and he’s determined to have the greatest senior year ever, starting with landing a role in the greatest play ever written- Hamlet. But Henry’s dreams for a perfect year start unraveling around him as his life starts to strangely resemble that of the Prince of Denmark. With a little help from the Bard’s greatest work and some friends from beyond the grave, Henry finds himself on a hero’s journey of his own as he attempts to understand his identity, his grief, and that undiscovered country- death. To Thine Own Self Be True is a play of Shakespearian proportions about finding out who you are, and how to cope.
