Macbeth
Macbeth is cursed. Or so say superstitious theater companies that avoid performing what they call, in hushed whispers, The Scottish Play. This summer, however, Organic Theater Company will try their luck staging the famously bloody tale of kings, fate, and murder. When the titular general encounters three witches, they let loose with a stunning prophecy: he’s destined to rule. On hearing the news, Lady Macbeth isn’t content to simply wait for the crown. Instead, she spurs her husband to action and sets in motion a series of events that will cover both their hands in blood, cloud their minds with guilt, and make all their future dinner parties really, really awkward. Although the prophecies come true, the question remains: without them, would Macbeth have become king at all?
The Diviners
When C. C. Showers, a disenchanted young Kentuckian, arrives in Zion, Indiana, he’s determined to cut himself loose from a long family line of preachers. Instead of taking up the cloth, he takes up a wrench at a local mechanic’s shop, but finds there a purpose greater than speedy oil changes. He becomes close with the mechanic’s son, Buddy, a troubled young man who can divine the presence of water. As a child, Buddy nearly drowned—his mother died in the same incident—leaving him with a fear of his gifts so crippling that he refuses even to bathe. As Showers works to help Buddy overcome his terror, the local women try to convince him to set up shop in their church. But in their desperation, the seeds of tragedy lie, waiting only for a bit of water.
