Producing will be Vici B. We are currently seeking a stage manager for the production. Auditions for Macbeth will begin with a brief warmup before solo performances. After those, Actors will learn materials from the show including some minor blocking and speech. Actors interested are asked to prepare a minute long monologue that showcases their range of emotion and speech ability. It would give you an edge (though completely optional) to perform material either by Shakespeare or from the show. After a long and bloody battle, a pair of Scottish generals encounter a group of witches who proclaim two things, that Macbeth will become the Thane of Cawdor and that Macbeth will be king of Scotland. A loyal Macbeth initially waves them off as being insane, however when the first prediction comes to light and Macbeth is made the Thane of Cawdor he becomes infatuated with the prophecy, an increasingly manic Macbeth shares this information with his wife, and the two of them begin plotting to kill the king and have Macbeth reign over Scotland. Paranoid, madness, evil, suffering, all run rampant on a crowned Macbeth as he feels evil is around every corner. Roles for lead performers include: Macbeth (The Thane of Glamis, brave and courageous general, ambitious, and ruthless), Lady Macbeth (Macbeth’s Wife, a woman who is hellbent on fulfilling the prophecy), Macduff (Thane of Fife, loyalist to King Duncan), The Weïrd Sisters (Three masters of the occult whose prophecies drive Macbeth’s ambition to new heights), Malcolm (Son of King Duncan, heir to the throne), Banquo (Thane of Lochaber, brave Scottish general who does not believe in the prophecy)The roles for supporting characters are other people within the empire, King Duncan, Donalbain, Lennox, Ross, Menteth, Angus, Cathness, Fleance, Siward, Young Siward, Seyton, Son of Macduff, Wife of Macduff, as well as various people around the surrounding villages
