Created and performed by Shakespeare Theatre Company Associate Director Whitney White, this rock ‘n’ roll play with music turns Macbeth on its head—and is a great complement to STC’s spring production of Macbeth.
The cast features Whitney White as Woman (Director of STC’s The Amen Corner and Broadway’s Jaja’s African Hair Braiding), Charlie Thurston as Man (STC’s Here There Are Blueberries), Stacey Sargeant as First Witch (Broadway’s for colored girls… revival), Ximone Rose as Second Witch (Broadway’s Once on This Island), Chelsea Lee Williams as Third Witch (Broadway’s Death of a Salesman revival), and Kanysha Williams as Understudy (Olney Theatre Center’s FELA!).
Created, co-orchestrated, and performed by White, Macbeth In Stride is directed by Tyler Dobrowsky and Taibi Magar, Co-Artistic Directors of Philadelphia Theatre Company. Raja Feather Kelly (Broadway’s A Strange Loop) serves as Choreographer and Steven Cuevas (Broadway’s New York, New York) serves as Co-Orchestrator and Music Director. Scenic Design is by Daniel Soule (STC’s King Lear), Costume Design is by Qween Jean (STC’s The Amen Corner), Lighting Design is by Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew (STC’s King Lear), and Sound Design is by Nick Kourtides (Off-Broadway’s Oratorio for Living Things). Wig, Hair, and Make-up Design is by Rachel Padula-Shufelt (Broadway’s Waitress). Casting is by STC’s Resident Casting Director Danica Rodriguez. Charles M. Turner III is the Production Stage Manager (Broadway’s Death of a Salesman revival) and Samantha Wilhelm is the Assistant Stage Manager (STC’s King Lear).
