MARION, Ky. – Auditions for the Community Arts Foundation's production of Macbeth will be held Monday, July 6 at Fohs Hall. According to the CAF, the classic Shakespearean tragedy has been abridged and adapted for younger audiences. Auditions are open to students in fourth through 12th grades.
The production marks the CAF directorial debut of Marion native Katie Keene, a Hollywood actress best known for her role as Galina in Netflix's Rogue Warfare trilogy.
CAF officials Kim Vince and Braden Locke said the choice of Macbeth was intentional.
“It's recognizable, has an interesting storyline and is seasonably appropriate,” Vince said, noting the play's witches and ghosts make it a good fit for the fall season.
“We've been growing our youth program through musicals,” Vince said. “This gives local youth a different platform to showcase their onstage talents.”
Students interested in participating can register and obtain audition materials at communityartsfoundation.org.
The production opens Sept. 19 and is free to the public. Performances will be held outdoors on Hayward Lawn, across from Fohs Hall at the site of the former hospital. The show serves as CAF's pilot project for an annual outdoor production at that location.
