Theater Audition for "Macbeth" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for production of "Macbeth". Please, see the details below. About the play: Set in a post-collapse world of chaos and a return to the old gods and mysticism, Mariposa Arts Theatre presents William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the enduring story of fate, identity, and power. When three witches prophesize that Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, will become King of Scotland a bloody and violent course is set in motion. Drunk on self-assured invincibility, the intoxicating ambition of Lady Macbeth, and supernatural paranoia, Macbeth murders with abandon and demonstrates that "absolute power corrupts absolutely." In the wake of this tyranny the Macbeths, and all those around them, pay the ultimate price. Rate: Non-Equity, community theater group, therefore any and all acting roles are volunteer commitments, not paid positions. Additional information: Callbacks to follow, if needed, on Wednesday, June 10th.
