I Hate Hamlet
"Hate it or love it - either way this Hamlet will make you laugh!"
Andrew is a TV actor who finds himself cast as the lead in Hamlet for New York City's Shakespeare in the Park.  He is also moving in to John Barrymore's old home while he stays in NYC.  His girlfriend is practicing abstinence, his LA friend thinks stage acting is a waste of time, his realtor is a loon, his agent is pushy and the ghost of John Barrymore begins to haunt him.  To make matters worse he realizes he hates the play Hamlet but is stuck having to play the seminal role.

Death by Fatal Murder
"Fatal Fun!"
This is the spoof ARTI audiences have been waiting for!  Inspector Pratt and Miss Maple are called upon to solve a murder at Bagshot Mansion and mayhem ensues.  Their gathering is a comic excuse to exploit all the character stereotypes found in Agatha Christie and other classic murder mysteries.  It's nonstop laughter as the body count mounts and "Defective" Pratt helplessly and hopelessly attempts to solve the crimes.

NOVEMBER
"A laughing machine!" - New York Times
"Impeccably politically incorrect." - New York Post
David Mamet's Oval Office satire centers on President Charles H.P. Smith on the eve of losing his bid for second term (his numbers are "lower than Gandhi's cholesterol").  Straight from Broadway, starring Nathan Lane, ARTI is proud to bring November to Idaho Falls.
