A dazzling theatrical event created by Obie Award-winning artist Whitney White, who performs with an ensemble and a live band, Macbeth in Stride examines what it means to be an ambitious woman through the lens of one of Shakespeare’s most iconic characters

This sensational production uses pop, rock, gospel, and R&B to trace the fatalistic arc of Lady Macbeth, while lifting up contemporary Black female power, femininity, and desire. Directors Tyler Dobrowsky and Taibi Magar (Underground Railroad GameIs God Is) co-stage this groundbreaking production, with choreography by Raja Feather Kelly (A Strange Loop).
