Forget About Texting, How About Some Theater To Distract You?

Did anyone see these folks near the Division Street exit this morning? They were doing what they call 'Exit Ramp Theater' and today's selection was Hamlet. When I saw them, they were just holding the signs, there wasn't any acting going on. I stopped to talk to them but wasn't able to get much info before the light turned green. Here's what I know:

- They're a loose knit group of four local actors (not affiliated with any theater).
- They're doing a different act of Hamlet every day this week.
- They're not trying to make any money, just have fun.

Anyone have any more info?

So... I wonder if they really act or just do the, "real life mannequin," thing. If they are doing the mannequin thing, I personally challenge anyone to try as hard as they can to distract the mannequin's gaze....

It's a fun thing old people used to do downtown at Macy's and Nordstrom's before Facebook existed.

I mean old people, such as myself. We entertained ourselves with activities like this before the internet was invented (or main stream, at least.)
