Dixie State College Theatre to Stage Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” March 1-6
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” The Dixie State College of Utah Department of Theatre is proud to present “Macbeth,” William Shakespeare’s classic supernatural tragedy about lust for power and its bloody repercussions. The production will run nightly this March 1-6, at 7:30 p.m., in DSC’s Eccles Fine Arts Center Main Stage Theater.
This production of Shakespeare's classic play of betrayal and ambition explores the pros and cons of the human driving spirit. How far is appropriate to go when forwarding one's self to heretofore dreamed of heights? When that limit is discovered and ultimately surpassed, is rectification possible? These questions and many others are explored in detail in this innovative exploration of one of the Bard's best-known works.
Directed by DSC Assistant Professor of Theatre Michael Harding, the production features the performances of Travis Cox and Hannah Davenport as “Macbeth and Lady Macbeth,” Frank Bryant and Whitney Morgan Cox as “Macduff and Lady Macduff,” and Alex Gubler as “Banquo.” The cast also includes Spencer Potter, Gabriella Noble, Rebecca Wright, Grant Nordine, Guy Smith, Trey Patterson, Cole Chollet, and several other DSC actors. The setting was designed by Brent Hanson, with lighting by Joshua Scott, and costumes by Andrea Davenport. Cali Pistorius serves as stage manager.
"This production is fresh, new, and informative," says Professor Harding. "We have delved beyond the existing text in an effort to understand better what Shakespeare was saying. Some of our methods are outside of what most people consider 'normal Shakespeare,’ but by asking these questions in this way, we are learning a tremendous amount. We hope our audiences will learn in turn."
Ticket prices are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors (65+) and non-DSC students ages 6-17, and $1 for DSC students, faculty and staff with a valid activity card. No children under age 5, please.
For tickets and further information, please call 435-652-7800 or visit the DSC Cox Auditorium Box Office. Patrons may also purchase tickets online at “tickets.dixie.edu” or one hour prior to each evening’s performance at the Eccles Fine Arts Center Box Office.
