Daniel Kucan Stars in Shakepeare's MACBETH at Art of Acting Studio This Month
The Harold Clurman Lab Theater, the professional wing of the Art of Acting Studio Los Angeles, is proud to announce its next production, William Shakespeare's Macbeth. Macbeth will open tonight, June 19th, 2015, and will star Emmy Winner Daniel Kucan in the title role. Macbeth will be directed by Ovation - nominated actor and designer, Michael Keith Allen.
All shows will offer a "pay what you can" ticket structure in an effort to make theater-going accessible to patrons of all income levels.
Artistic Director Tom Oppenheim said, "The studio aims to bring art right down to the street and offer it indiscriminately, that is to say, affordably, to the world. The Harold Clurman Lab Theater - on both coasts - is proud to offer a ticket model that will encourage audience members to not only come to the theater but participate in vital community conversations."
The Lab Theater's most recent work in Los Angeles include the Ovation-Recommended and Ovation-Nominated run of Lebensraum by Israel Horovitz, and Ovation-nominated run of Long Way Go Down by Zayd Dohrn. In New York, the Harold Clurman Lab Theater recently presented the Edinburgh Festival Fringe First Award winning one-man show Mercy Killers by Michael Milligan and the off-Broadway production of Israel Horovitz's Lebensraum.
The Harold Clurman Lab Theater's production of Macbeth tells the story of one man's rise to power as seen through an urban, gritty and violent post-modern Scotland. Driven by a supernatural prophesy and a lust for power, Macbeth violently cuts and slashes his way to the throne. With the prodding of his ambitious wife and his physical prowess as a warrior, Macbeth finds the crown in his hands only to see it slip away.
