The West Linn High School Theatre Department presents Macbeth by William Shakespeare, edited and directed by Steven Beckignham. Something wicked this way comes indeed! Within an alternate, future Scotland, steeped in old world Norse traditions, The Macbeths navigate love, loyalty, prophecy, and blood lust. With Filipino Kali sword and knife style fighting, ultraviolet light, student created art, and a few surprise edits, Macbeth will prove to be an intense and intoxicating production. Please note that it is recommended for audiences 12 years plus.

The production runs March 5, 7, 12, 13, 14 at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased at the link above or at the door. But space will be limited!

Below the list is, is a link to the callback sides. Please look over the sides relevant to you (some are called back for more than one role). Again, you do not have to be memorized. Please familiarize yourself with the context of the scenes and who your character is. Today, some of you did not know who your character was or what they do! You may want to revisit the synopsis and character circles from the previous post.

If you are on the list, please arrive outside the black box, tomorrow, by 3:20pm. You will be instructed on who you will be reading with. We will have hard copies of sides. I would like to begin with the GENTLEWOMAN/DOCTOR/LADY MACBETH scene. I will let stage management know who can be released when.

Please do not hesitate to email me with questions – beckings@wlwv.k12.or.us

Thank you!
