A dazzling theatrical event created by Obie Award-winning artist Whitney White, who performs with an ensemble and a live band, Macbeth in Stride examines what it means to be an ambitious woman through the lens of one of Shakespeare’s most iconic characters.
This sensational production uses pop, rock, gospel, and R&B to trace the fatalistic arc of Lady Macbeth, while lifting up contemporary Black female power, femininity, and desire. Directors Tyler Dobrowsky and Taibi Magar (Underground Railroad Game, Is God Is) co-stage this groundbreaking production, with choreography by Raja Feather Kelly (A Strange Loop).
Each performance involves a hands-on pre- or post-show workshop lasting approximately 45 minutes at your school, led by a BAM teaching artist at no additional cost. Please use the School-Time Performance: Macbeth in Stride reservation form to schedule your workshop and reserve your tickets!
