The Macbeth Initiative is built upon a production of Shakespeare’s MACBETH. It includes a teacher-training session that empowers classroom educators in their teaching of MACBETH; an in-class playshop where students live the characters, speak Shakespeare’s text, and face the play’s moral dilemmas; and a 15-minute post-show talkback. The play will perform for 2,800 students on our Tabor Stage and in 13 public/charter core partnering high schools, most of which serve at-risk students.
