Macbeth

May 13-28, 2016 @ 7:30pm

 St. Paul’s Theater | Old Hat Theatre Company| Brooklyn, NY

Cruel are the times when we are traitors / And do not know ourselves …But float upon a violent sea / Each way and move.

Old Hat’s Macbeth is set in a surreal landscape inspired by the bleak and treacherous no-man’s-land of World War I. We explore the loneliness and distorted morality that emerge from a culture of violence; how war and murder may blur and deform one’s very sense of self.

Directed by Elizabeth Sutton-Stone
Featuring: Billie Aken-Tyers, Sam Bolen,* Brennan Caldwell,* Erin Capistrano, John Ford-Dunker,* James Fouhey, Nathaniel Janis, Jeremy Kotler, Derek Loehr, Eamon Murphy, Mike Newman,  Ali Viterbi and Forrest Weber
*Appearing Courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association. Macbeth is an Equity Approved Showcase.

Tickets: $15-18

CLEOPATRA

Sundays November 1st, 8th, and 15th at 7pm

 Quinn’s Bar | Bottoms Dream| New York, NY

As the curtain goes up, Ross just knows his life is about to change. The world will never be the same. Shakespeare will never be the same. His daring, re-imagined production of CLEOPATRA will define a generation of audiences. But only if the actors can remember their lines.

Join them upstairs at Quinn’s Bar NYC (44th and 9th) for an all-out, Complete-Works-style sprint through Shakespeare’s Antony & Cleopatra. Enjoy raucous singalongs, Ancient Roman drinking games, and some good old-fashioned Iambic Pentameter!

ROSS as Cleopatra
ALI as Charmian, Octavia
CHRIS as Enobarbus, Octavius Caesar, and others
ZACH as Lepidus and others
and BROOKE as Mark Antony

For Love & Duty is committed to providing entertaining and thought provoking theatre, as well as contributing to our community. Each of our MainStage shows are paired with a charitable organization in order to raise awareness.
Much Ado About Nothing is honored to partner with The Bridal Garden. They are the only not for profit bridal boutique in NYC that sells discounted one of kind designer gowns and is a donation center for donated wedding dresses. Their proceeds benefit underfunded NYC schools with programs which promote academic excellence and literacy. Our “Hero” (Ali Viterbi) will be wearing one of these beautiful dresses in the show! We are so excited to be partnering with this amazing charity. Check them out!http://bridalgarden.org/
