From a profile in the Post Star, Glens Falls, NY, April 25, 2015:
Let’s hope Terry Rabine can keep his Shakespeare shows straight.
The longtime Lake Theatre producer appears in “Hamlet” at Capital Repertory Theatre, but he’s planning a summer of laughs for his dinner theater in the farcical “The Complete Works of Shakespeare,” a show about three actors who try to perform all 37 of Shakespeare’s works in an hour and a half and realize halfway through they, ironically, forgot “Hamlet.”
Rabine hadn’t been onstage since he took over Lake Theatre eight years ago, and felt it was time to be in the spotlight again.
“Running the dinner theater is so much administrative and marketing and writing checks, it’s desk work; some of the excitement of the theater had gone away for me, so I thought if I could get back on stage … it might sort of rekindle some of the fire that got me into this business in the first place,” he said.
He auditioned at Capital Repertory and was cast in a three-role combination: as one of the Gravediggers, as the Ghost of Hamlet’s Father and as the Player King.
“It’s a lot of fun for me to play because they’re three very different characters and I get to play one very low-comic, one is hopefully scary and the other just an over-the-top Elizabethan actor who thinks he’s better than he is,” Rabine said.
