Writers' Theatre to stage 'Hamlet,' chamber 'Sweet Charity,' as part of 2012-13 season

Writers' Theatre, the Glencoe-based theater company, will stage an intimate version of the classic Broadway musical "Sweet Charity" in 2013, the ambitious company announced Wednesday.  Doug Peck, who also is working on the upcoming Mary Zimmerman production of "The Jungle Book,"will work on the orchestrations of the Cy Coleman score, fusing what the company descibes as a "lively jazz combo" ideal for a 108-seat theater.
