CALENDAR Most kids come home from college to catch up on laundry and enjoy home-cooked meals. But poor Hamlet returns to Elsinore to fi nd that his father’s been off ed and his mom’s taken up with the murderer, as Simon Luedtke, 17, a senior at South Eugene High School, plays the title role in the school’s new production of the Bard’s most tragic tale. “Hamlet is unique, in terms of character growth,” Luedtke says. “The main challenge has been maintaining continuity, and that focus of goals and tactics.” Hamlet is a fl awed pro- tagonist, Luedtke continues. “He doesn’t know what to act on.” South’s Hamlet — which opens Thursday, Jan. 21 — is a stylistically modern adaptation, and the production is up for a spot in the prestigious International Thespian Convention. An adjudicator from that festival will attend the show in Eugene, and if selected, the whole cast, along with the whole set, will be traveling this June to perform it in Lincoln, Nebraska. 9 miles; Snowshoe to Odell Overlook, 3.5, reg. at obsidians. org.
