Art House Productions (Executive Artistic Director Meredith Burns) is proud to announce its fall mainstage production of Hamlet, directed by C. Rashee Stevenson, running October 9–26, 2025, at the Art House Theater in Jersey City.
This bold reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy fuses the original text with interpolated language from Les Nègres and Les Paravents by Jean Genet and works by Federico García Lorca—transforming the play into a cosmic crime thriller that plunges deep into grief, identity, and the metaphysical.
“This production of Hamlet is deeply personal to me,” says C. Rashee Stevenson. “I wanted to explore the emotional and
psychological weight of grief, power, and identity through a lens that feels immediate, cosmic, and urgent. We’re pushing the boundaries of what this classic can be, and I’m incredibly grateful to Art House for giving us the space to reimagine it for today’s world.”
“It’s thrilling to bring Hamlet to life in such a bold and contemporary way,” says Joshua Feder, Producing Director at Art House. “C. Rashee Stevenson’s vision is transformative—he’s created something that honors the text while making it entirely new. This is exactly the kind of ambitious, artist-driven work that Art House exists to support.”
“C. Rashee Stevenson is one of the most exciting
theater artists working today,” adds Meredith Burns, Executive Artistic Director. “This production is especially meaningful to me as I’ve known C. Rashee since our time together at SUNY Purchase, and later had the privilege of working with him through our INKubator program in 2019. Don’t wait to get your tickets— this is Hamlet like you’ve never seen it before.”
