Story of the play: Lenny is a great guy: a good teacher, an excellent father, and a loving husband. So when his wife leaves him for a smooth-talking lothario who builds Walmarts, his life is shattered. While he consoles himself with watching his favorite movie, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, his best friend Mick takes matters into his own hands. Now Lenny must decide what he will stand up for and who he will stand up to. How far is too far to get back to happily-ever-after?

Camp Encore presents Macbeth at the Greenbelt Arts Center, July 15-16

Macbeth
Something wicked this way comes…

By William Shakespeare
Adapted and Directed by Kate Magill Robinson

Kate Magill Robinson, director of Camp Encore’s terrific productions of As You Like It in 2013 and Lotsa Lazzi! in 2014, returns this summer to lead teen actors through Shakespeare’s lyrical tale of murder and madness.

An ensemble-based script, created just for this camp, will use Shakespeare’s original language to tell the story of the noble warrior Macbeth and his ambitious wife, who tread a dark path and trade their souls to gain the crown of Scotland. Our production, performed in the Greenbelt Arts Center on July 15 and 16, will also use movement, music and stage combat to tell this story of magic, power and destiny.

PARENTAL ADVISORY: Due to subject matter and staged violence, this production may not be suitable for children under 10.

PERFORMANCES: Wednesday, July 15 at 1:00pm and Thursday, July 16 at 4:00pm

Performance Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

Free admission, but seating may be limited. To reserve seats, email katemagill3@gmail.com with your name, date requested and number of tickets. Seating may be available at the door.

This two-act dramedy traces the historically significant relationship among Abraham Lincoln, his very closest friend Joshua Fry Speed, and his law partner William H. (Billy) Herndon, from 1837 to 1891 (26 years after the Lincoln assassination). Both Speed and Herndon played important roles in the legacy of the 16th president. Oh yes, the Springfield Girls also have their say. And the boys even help one another on their roads to marriage.
