Additional Student Work
Students chose to contextualize the play by placing it in the Mafia underworld during the Prohibition 1920s. They sourced their own costumes, props, and set locations with coaching from their Design Teaching Artists. MACBETH scenes
were recorded by cast-members (and supportive family members) from their own homes during the spring pandemic shutdown.

We did it! We did Macbeth during the early months of a
global pandemic. We filmed a movie without any actors
sharing the same space. And we managed to stay engaged
with this artistic process as daily stress and confusion occurred
at school, at home, and all over the world.
I cannot express enough how constantly inspired I was by this
resilient group. In person and over Zoom, our meetings were
always full of laughter, respect, and creativity. I hope Henry,
Maiya, Venice, Ty, Lea, Ian, and Sam can go forward feeling
proud of this artistic collaboration, and also proud of the
community that they fostered during a very difficult year.
Thank you all for the hard work and for sharing so much light
in a dark time.

I just want to say how
important it was for my sanity
to still have something creative
to work on and to still be able
to interact with artists during
the beginning of quarantine.
It did wonders for my sanity to
still have that outlet.
