TheMASSIVE
Macbeth

Pay: Yes

Description:

TheMASSIVE will be casting Actors, Dancers, and a Gospel Singer for its production of Macbeth.

You know TheMASSIVE from its sexy, addictive movement last seen in 2011's Faust. Now, Executive Artistic Director Kyle Vincent Terry is putting its own spin on Shakespeare's shortest, but one of his bloodiest, tragedies, Macbeth. This tale of a man caught between the coveting of power and the possession of it is re-imagined as a 1930's Dust Bowl-era play, with the flair of a "Spaghetti Western" film. Set in a Kansas town where water is at a premium, but lives aren't, the characters range from the destitute to the newly-rich, the Christian to Kiowa Native, the insane to the...well, insane.
