The play'

A summer youth theater workshop for local middle and high school students culminated Saturday night with the staging of two versions of William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" at the Putnam County Playhouse. A packed house was treated to a shortened, modernized take on the classic play, performed by the middle school students and a musical version performed by the high school students. Both shows were written by Caroline Good, who also directed the high schoolers' production. The middle schools students were under the direction of Keith Bodnarick.
