Friendswood High School Theatre presents Macbeth by William Shakespeare, the classic tale of a brave Scottish general who receives a prophecy from a trio of sisters which leads to grave consequences. Performances will be in the Friendswood High School Theatre on Oct. 7-9 and 15-16 at 7pm. Matinees will be Oct. 10 and 17 at 2:30pm.
Seniors Balint Kidd and Hayden Hobbs lead the cast as the ambitious Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Other cast members include seniors Maris Morgan, Ashley Campbell, John Sims, Luke Johnstone, Coy White, Colby Clayton, Grant Newman, Yusuf Favad, David Selby, Justin Paulder and Julia Bukowski. The technical crew is led by Max Bischoff as stage manger / assistant to the director. Costume crew is led by Senior Maddie Schatske, set construction is led by senior Zack Otto, sound design is led by senior James Nelson, and light design is led by senior Nathan Turnbaugh and junior Jason Enochs.
“The language and plot of the play call upon our actors to create strong characters with just a few lines,” FHS Theatre Director Kathy Powdrell said. “The play gives us so much to work with. Macbeth can become the product of all our imaginings from theatrical illusions, technical effects, inventive sound design, makeup, costumes, lighting above and below, and environmental effects to create this world for our great stage actors to see bloody daggers, fateful visions, struggle of good vs evil and a journey through chaos to restored order. It is a most worthy project for these excellent students.”
The doors will open 20 minutes before each curtain for general admission seating. Pre-seating will be available as needed. This performance is not suitable for children under the age of 6. For the sensory sensitive, please note this production includes the usage of atmospheric haze, fog, strobe lights, drums and thunder sounds.
Tickets are $15 and may be purchased HERE. Limited tickets will be sold at the door.
