Macbeth In Stride Black Out Performance

The Friday, Oct. 29 performance of "Macbeth In Stride" is designated to be an exclusive space for Black-identifying audience members. Use code BLACKOUT to book. A.R.T. appreciates the support of non-Black allies in making this a completely Black-identifying evening. All are invited to join at another performance during the run.

A dazzling theatrical event created by Obie Award-winning artist Whitney White and performed by White plus an ensemble with a live band, "Macbeth In Stride" examines what it means to be an ambitious Black woman through the lens of one of Shakespeare’s most iconic characters. The first of White’s five-part series commissioned by A.R.T. excavating the women from Shakespeare’s canon, the production uses pop, rock, gospel plus R&B to trace the fatalistic arc of Lady Macbeth while lifting up contemporary Black female power, femininity and desire. Directors Tyler Dobrowsky and Taibi Magar ("We Live in Cairo") co-stage this groundbreaking world premiere with choreography by Raja Feather Kelly.
