About this Event
Something Wicked (a reimagined Macbeth)
April 19-20 | 7:30pm | $15
The first production in AMOC's 2024 AiR Series, Something Wicked, a reimagined Macbeth is an in-process performance of one of Shakespeare’s most well-known works. Resident artist Sasha Maya Ada Davis aims to offer fresh takes on timeless classics by reimagining the process behind the final product. Davis’ residency has focused on refreshing the rehearsal process for theatrical productions, taking a patient and explorative approach to the creative process. This work has resulted in the development of her newly formed theater group, Altar’d Playhouse, “I want to give this company time to marinate on the world we create together,” Davis states. Join us to take a peek into the early stages of Something Wicked, then stick around for the post-performance discussion to learn more about the work behind the curtain!
This program is supported, in part, by the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture and Comerica Charitable Giving.
