Directed by Dr. Craig Rosen

Machinal
By Sophie Treadwell
April 29-May 1
Sunday, May 2
John and Angeline Oremus Theater
Directed by Dr. Craig Rosen

A 1928 Broadway hit, Machinal is a modern age tragedy of isolation turned to murder. The play, Sophie Treadwell said, is about "a young woman, ready, eager for life, for love...but deadened, squeezed, crushed by the machine-like quality of the life surrounding." Loosely based on the sensational 1927 murder trial of Ruth Snyder, Treadwell uses this scenario as a springboard for her own speculations about what circumstances might drive a seemingly harmless stenographer to commit murder.

Macbeth
By William Shakespeare

Free!
Outdoors at the Gateway

Bring a chair or a blanket and your favorite foods to snack on while you enjoy a Shakespearean classic under the stars! Murder, temptation and treachery dominate the world of Macbeth, the last and darkest of Shakespeare’s tragedies. This chilling tale of greed, corruption and death is a powerful political thriller that follows Macbeth’s transformation from a battlefield hero to a bloody tyrant.

If you are interested in auditioning, contact Dr. Craig Rosen at rosen@morainevalley.edu or call (708) 974-5432 for information.
