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

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.

Clarissa, the second wife of Henry Hailsham Brown, is adept at spinning tales of adventure for their bored diplomatic circle. When a murder takes place in her drawing room she finds live drama much harder to cope with, especially as she suspects the murderer might be her young stepdaughter Pippa. Worse still, the victim is the man who broke up Henry’s first marriage! Clarissa’s fast talking places her in some hair raising experiences, as she comes to learn that the facts are much more terrifying than fiction.

Hometown Heroes: 75 Years of Extraordinary Greenbelt Women
June 13, 2015 at 2:00pm

Location: The Greenbelt Museum, 10B Crescent Road, Greenbelt MD 20770.

Established in 1937, Greenbelt, MD was built by the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration during the Depression as an experiment in modern town planning. In observation of the official 75th anniversary of Greenbelt, alight dance theater performed Hometown Heroes: 75 Years of Extraordinary Greenbelt Women in June of 2012 at the Greenbelt Museum’s historic house.

The sold out performances honored Greenbelt women, past and present, young and old – whose contributions have made this city such a dynamic and inspiring place to live. Choreographed by Angella Foster in collaboration with the dancers, this site-specific dance installation was created specifically for the Greenbelt Museum home and its surrounding grounds. alight dance theater will perform the work again on June 13, 2015 with four showings beginning at 2pm.

The work explores the experiences of the women who lived in Greenbelt as young mothers and homemakers in the late 1930ʼs and early 1940ʼs as “pioneers” of the cooperative spirit of the community. Hometown Heroes features an original sound score, including interviews with six women as found in the oral history archives of the Greenbelt Museum, as well as music, advertisements and radio programs of the era. Because of the size of the Museum house and the nature of the work, space is extremely limited, so all tickets must be purchased in advance.
