FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BLOOMINGTON��– Tickets are now available for Ivy Tech Student Productions,��Macbeth, by William Shakespeare.��Macbeth��opens on April 11 at Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center and runs April 12 and April 17-19 in the Rose Firebay.

In a cast of 19, 13 actors are ��������-Bloomington students. The two lead characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, are Ivy Tech students.

“I have been impressed by this group of student actors, and the effort to grapple with the complexities of Shakespeare’s language,” said Jeffery Allen, director of��Macbeth��and Executive Director for the Center for Lifelong Learning at Ivy Tech-Bloomington. “The students have kept it simple and are able to tell the story in a clear manner.”

�Ѳ�������ٳ���is the closing performance for 2013-14 Ivy Tech Student Productions.�������𲹲ԲԲ���opened last August (2013) and��No Exit��last October (2013). The 2014-15 Ivy Tech Student productions season will be announced early summer 2014.

�Ѳ�������ٳ�,��2013-14 Ivy Tech Student Productions, is intended for a PG-13 audience.

“Macbeth��is a tale of unchecked, boundless ambition. Our audiences may perhaps be surprised at the immediacy of the play, and certainly the intimate space puts the audience quite literally in the action,” said Allen. “I hope to dispel what so many have been incorrectly taught – that Lady Macbeth ‘makes him do it.’ Macbeth tells us in his first scene that he wants the crown and his mind leaps to murder, and that his problem is not ‘I don’t want to,’ it’s ‘I don’t know how to get away with it.’”

Tickets are available for purchase at the Buskirk-Chumley box office, or by visiting��.��Tickets are $15 (general admission) and $5 (students and seniors).
