Theatre Department to Perform “Macbeth”

The second production of the 2019-20 Truman Theatre season is “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare.

This classic tragedy delivers witches, sword play, murder, revenge and madness. Truman’s production mixes Elizabethan and 21st century imagery for an updated approach to the familiar tale, and audiences will also see some gender-bending in the cast of characters.

Under the direction of David Charles Goyette, assistant professor of theatre, “Macbeth” will feature spectacular scenic, sound, video and projection effects designed by Brad Carlson, assistant professor of theatre, as well as lighting by senior Molly Garrison.

“Macbeth” runs at 8 p.m. Nov. 13-16 in the Severns Theatre in Ophelia Parrish. Tickets are available at the Theatre Box Office from 11:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. in the main lobby of Ophelia Parrish. They are $6 when purchased with cash or check, $7 with a credit or debit card, and must be purchased in advance. Out-of-town guests can call 660.785.4515 to reserve tickets. The box office is also open at 7 p.m. on show nights.
