Performances for this month
(does not include auditions or special events – see This Week’s Events below or the calendar page for full listing)
directed by George M. Roesler
“I am going to divide my kingdom.” An irresistible beginning to this classic story about fathers and children, power and possession. Seduced by flattery, King Lear banishes his daughter Cordelia and unknowingly sets in motion a plot of treachery and murder. Shakespeare’s tragedy about the fall and decay of the world, tells a tale of madness, tyranny, loyalty, and love.
The Minnesota Association of Community Theatres (MACT) is a statewide, volunteer run organization. We hold meetings, workshops, festivals and other events throughout the state of Minnesota.
MACT operates on a two year cycle. In even numbered years we put on FAST*Fest, a non-adjudicated festival of 20-minute plays. In odd numbered years we produce MACT*Fest, which is an adjudicated festival of 60-minute plays which is part of the AACTFest cycle. Along with the performances at our festivals there are workshops and networking events.
