Looks like a lot of fun. Press release here:

A-B Tech Drama announces production dates for the company’s 16th production, Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy Hamlet. A-B Tech alumna Hayley Karbowski plays Hamlet and Peter Carver directs. Shows will be at 7:30 p.m. April 24-27 and May 1-4 in the Simpson Lecture Hall on the College’s Asheville campus. Tickets are $5 for A-B Tech students, $10 for other students and $15 for adults.

Hamlet’s extensive sound design (two theremins, violin, bass, guitar, and hammer dulcimer) by A-B Tech student Anthony Dorion will be built and performed on state-of-the-art equipment furnished by Moog Music, Inc. of Asheville. Asheville’s Biltmore Estate has graciously allowed the interiors of the house to be projected as scenery, transporting the audience from room to room of Elsinore Castle. Some scenes of the play will be projected from video and hand-held projectors.
