A young and successful television actor relocates to New York, where he rents a marvelous, gothic apartment. With his television career in limbo, the actor is offered the opportunity to play Hamlet onstage, but there’s one problem: He hates Hamlet. His dilemma deepens with the entrance of John Barrymore’s ghost, who arrives intoxicated and in full costume to the apartment that once was his.

John Barrymore’s ghost – Andy Linn

Dear Patrons,
Many thanks to the cast and crew for a great production of, Twelve Angry Jurors, to close our 2009 performance season. Larry Brangwin and Donna Hentges staged another well received show by our patrons. Not typically our comedy based genre, the portrayal of characters by each and every cast member was an enjoyable treat. Special kudos to director, Larry Brangwin, for bringing so many new faces to the Postal Playhouse Stage. I think some of them have been bitten by the theater bug as many promised they would be back – sooner than later!!
We are very proud to debut our newly renovated restrooms and extended lobby. We invite you to review the Postal Playhouse memorabilia that we are proud to display in this new space too. Our handicap accessible ramp is now open for those patrons whose physical conditions deem necessary for use.
Our annual membership drive for our 2010 performance season is in its closing weeks.
