HAUNTED: A MACBETH EXPERIENCE, directed by Miranda Manier and Liz Zimmerman, is an immersive take on the Scottish play, placing audience members within Macbeth’s perspective as paranoia, ambition, and tyranny take hold. In this abbreviated version of “Macbeth,” cast members will be bringing the iconic play to life in an elevated, narrative haunted house environment.
Actors in this production should be comfortable with improv, light fight choreography, and scaring the living daylights out of our audience from just a few feet away. Stipends will be paid to all cast members. Each performance will involve two overlapping runs of the show. Several roles will be double-cast so two audiences can move through the space simultaneously.
No preparation is required for in-person auditions, which will be held at OneRoof Southeast Neighborhood Center (405 E Dubail Ave, South Bend, IN 46613) on Tuesday, May 21 at 6 p.m. Complete this form if you plan to audition: https://forms.gle/EhSJXyzCbStmMNCf7
Callbacks will be held on Wednesday, May 22 at 6 p.m.

– Macbeth*: An overly ambitious military captain, who is deeply in love with his wife. We follow his descent into madness. Must be comfortable with audience interaction and stage combat. $200 stipend.
