Flushed with victory over enemy forces, generals Macbeth and Banquo are met on a stormy heath by three witches who predict that Macbeth will become King of Scotland. Once this seed is planted, Macbeth and his equally ambitious wife will stop at nothing to fulfill the prophesy and secure their power! One murder leads to many in a spiral of escalating evil, while the political, moral and natural order descend into chaos. Shakespeare's shortest tragedy moves at a rapid pace toward its inevitable, cataclysmic conclusion! Written circa 1600, the play's timeless themes still resonate.

Sponsored by KTXR-Timeless Love Songs, KY3, GO Magazine, 417 Magazine and Educational Community Credit Union.

Holiday Giving

Tassell — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:18:00 GMT

In our usual tradition, the department of Theatre and Dance will be adopting those less fortunate to help out this holiday season. Though we tried to narrow it down to one organization, due to equal interest, we found both a senior citizen center and no-kill shelter that will truly appreciate our support this holiday season.

Polk County Humane Society (PCHS) is a No-Kill organization that, with the help of foster homes, provides temporary housing and care for dogs and cats. And with their new shelter facilities opening the first week of November, they will have a greater than ever need for supplies to care for animals they previously had to turn away. In addition to the shelter, PCHS will continue to bring the dogs to the Springfield PetsMart on Saturday mornings to participate in the adoption clinic. The new shelter is just one reason why Polk County Humane Society is excited to be adopted by the Theatre & Dance Department for the holiday season.

Northwood Hills Care Center is situated in rural Humansville, Missouri. Northwood Hills has served the Humansville community for twenty years providing inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, return-to-home programs, and the highest level of senior health care. The staff at Northwood Hills Care Center strives to make tomorrow better than today for the residents they serve, and that is why they are overwhelmingly appreciative of our efforts to gather comfort items that some of their senior residents are missing out on.

To support one or both of these organizations, please see the donation lists posted outside Angie's office (CRA359). The collection boxes will remain there from November 1st until December 10th (last day of classes). She will then transport the items to each facility. There will also be cards to sign for the Northwood residents.

The Wanderer

Tassell — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:09:00 GMT

The Wanderer

Theatre for Social Change will be performing their final performance entitled "The Wanderer" for the Rivendale Institute of Learning Students on Tuesday, December 8th, at 12:30pm in Carrington Auditorium.

The show will be using some film that they create along with live acting. Please come and help celebrate the diversity of theatre for social change and the production it engenders. Hope to see you there!

The Wanderer follows a young boy who doesn't fit in at school. When he is walking home he finds a door in the middle of a grassy area and decides to see what's on the other side. When he walks through he finds a world completely different from his own. The show follows him on his adventures in this new world.

Opening night of the 47th annual Tent Theatre season at Missouri State University is rapidly approaching!
