The actors in TSC’s MACBETH share in unfolding the story alongside students as they remain on stage for the entirety of the performance, changing roles in the moment. The theme of community versus individual responsibility is explored. The in-class education component engages students through speaking Shakespeare’s language, discovering characters’ motives, and exposing the play’s conflicts.
