Noir Hamlet
by John Minigan
directed by Byron Holder
Hamlet, or Little H, has taken over the Elsinore Detective Agency, formerly run by his deceased father. Little H’s nighttime reverie with a bottle at his desk – he is a little glum because he hasn’t yet had a case to solve – is interrupted by the sound of a saxophone playing. This proves to be the ghost of his father, Hamlet, who suggests that he didn’t die by his own hand and that Little H, as a detective, should try to solve the mystery of his death. Little H immediately suspects his uncle Claude, who has taken up with Hamlet’s widow, Gertrude. Attempting to aid Little H in his detective work is Rae, his father’s former secretary and also a chanteuse. As one would expect from a play called “Noir Hamlet”, things do not end well for Little H and his duplicitous family, but there are lots of laughs along the way.

“Next Generation” Harry Hunsacker: Scott Nixon!
Scott Nixon is a talented, versatile actor who came to us with a history of performing in Living Black & White™ shows produced by Mainstage Irving Las Colinas (MILC). It's no wonder he already had an obvious sense of the snappy style required by these productions!...
Show #17: “Love of a Pig” by Leslie Caveny!
Throughout the year, we've been counting down the top 30 shows in Pegasus Theatre's 30-year history. The method of selection is quite unscientific, based on the subjective opinions of Kurt and Barb. A show might get into the top 30 because it was especially popular...
The art and science of feeding theatre artists!
Many years ago, an actor who worked a lot at Pegasus Theatre was quoted in the newspaper as saying, "I like working at Pegasus---they feed their actors!" (Walter Hardts, RIP) It's true. We're a bit food-focused! There's actually a fine tradition of feeding actors in...

Celebrate #19 in the countdown: Curse of the Coarse Actors!
We had opened Pegasus Theatre in October 1985 with a "coarse acting" show, so by our fourth season it seemed only fitting that we offer another evening of overly earnest theatre by amateur actors. The Director's Notes for the show gave a great description: "Coarse"...
