The talented kids of Little Stars Youth Theatre have been working hard to bring you their production of Macbeth. But when an emergency broadcast announces the incoming end of the world (in exactly 43 minutes) the young cast evacuates, leaving only their director behind. The show must go on…right?

This comedic solo piece explores the paradox of live performance in a seemingly-doomed world. As Jill attempts to save the show, it devolves into an anxiety spiral on death and identity.

Interested in viewing a taped version of the show? Let me know and I’ll be happy to share a link.

STAY TUNED FOR UPCOMING PERFORMANCES
