From the Director’s Desk
November is such a unique
month: a month to both look to
our future and to reflect upon our
past.
In just a few short days, we will
have the opportunity to exercise
our right to vote for our
country’s leaders.
Later in that same week, we will
pause to remember and honor
our veterans whose service and
sacrifice preserved those same
rights we often take for granted.
November is also the month that
reminds us to be thankful for the
many blessings bestowed upon
us by our Heavenly Father.
I have so much to be thankful
for. Among my many blessings
is the opportunity to share with
you the celebration of our
amazingly gifted and talented
students as we continue a very
exciting season of music and
theater performances.
I look forward to you joining us.

Synopsis of Macbeth: “Three witches decide to confront the great Scottish
general Macbeth on his victorious return from a war between Scotland and
Norway. The Scottish king, Duncan, decides that he will confer the title of the
traitorous Cawdor on the heroic Macbeth. Macbeth, and another General called
Banquo, happen upon the three witches. The witches predict that he will one day
become king.
He decides that he will murder Duncan. Macbeth's wife agrees to his plan.
He then murders Duncan assisted by his wife who smears the blood of Duncan on
the daggers of the sleeping guards. A nobleman called Macduff discovers the
body. Macbeth kills the guards insisting that their daggers smeared with Duncan's
blood are proof that they committed the murder. The crown passes to Macbeth.
More murders ensue and the bloodied ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth. Lady
Macbeth's conscience now begins to torture her and she imagines that she can see
her hands covered with blood. She commits suicide. Macduff kills Macbeth and
becomes king.” (BardStage.org)
