Macbeth at duCret Center of Art

(PLAINFIELD, NJ) -- Dragonfly Multicultural Arts Center will bring one of Shakespeare's most haunting tragedies to life this fall with its production of Macbeth, running October 24 through November 2, 2025, at the duCret Center of Art. Macbeth tells the chilling story of a Scottish nobleman whose ambition, stoked by prophecy and manipulation, drives him to murder and madness. Filled with witches, ghosts, and unforgettable poetry, this timeless play explores the corrupting power of unchecked desire and the devastating consequences of moral compromise.

Presented with Dragonfly’s signature multicultural approach and a dynamic cast, this production promises an intimate, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s dark masterpiece while preserving the play’s thrilling language and atmosphere.

“Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s most powerful and fast-paced tragedies,” says Catherine LaMoreaux, Artistic Director of Dragonfly Multicultural Arts Center. “We’re excited to bring audiences a modern interpretation that highlights both the psychological depth and supernatural intrigue of the story—especially during the Halloween season.”

Performances will take place Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm, including a special Halloween performance on Friday, October 31. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for students and seniors. Seating is limited, and advance purchase is recommended. Tickets are available for purchase online. duCret Center of Art is located at 1030 Central Avenue, Plainfield, New Jersey.

Rosario, Autumn Salters, Thaddeus Micah Salters, Breanna Schad, Melyssa Searcy, and Monica Shah.
