HSA Theatre Alliance Launches 2018 Season With A New Production Of MACBETH

On Friday, March 9, students enrolled in the theater and acting programs at the famed Harlem School of the Arts, under the guidance of Alfred Preisser, Artistic Director & Chair of the Theatre Department, will launch the 2018 theater season with a production of Shakespeare's MACBETH. For two consecutive weekends on Friday and Saturdays at 7:00 PM, and on Sundays at 3:00 PM, March 9 - 18, at HSA Theatre, 649 Saint Nicholas Avenue.

Following the successful student presentations of Euripides' MEDEA and Trojan Women, the HSA Theatre Alliance is taking an important step forward in tackling one of Shakespeare's most popular tragedies, Macbeth.
