Show Summary

What if the tragedy of Macbeth was never about ambition alone? In this eerie, fate-driven staging, the witches are not bystanders but architects guiding events with quiet precision. From the first prophecy to the final fall, unseen forces pull at every choice, tightening their hold as reality unravels. Macbeth’s rise to power becomes less a climb and more a descent, as prophecy blurs into manipulation and free will dissolves into design. Through stark imagery and a pervasive sense of otherworldly control, this production asks: who truly pulls the strings?

Characters/Roles

There are 18 roles available in this production. We encourage actors of all ethnicities, genders, abilities, and ages to audition. See the full audition call for the list of roles.

Audition Process

Auditions will take place:

• October 4, 1pm–5pm
• October 5, 7pm–10pm
• October 6, 7pm–10pm 

All dates at 44 Gaukel St in downtown Kitchener. Your audition will take approximately 15 minutes. We invite actors to sign up in advance for an audition slot, though walk-ins are always welcome.

Actors should prepare a Shakespearean monologue to perform and will be given direction (monologues will be available for a cold read if one is not prepared). The monologue does not need to be memorized. Actors being considered for the role of Witch will be guided in a short movement segment — please ensure you wear clothing you are comfortable moving in.

Actors unable to attend live auditions but still wanting to audition can contact the director, Carolyn, at macbeth2027@kwlt.org to arrange a video audition.
