Macbeth
 Tickets for the Missouri State Theatre & Dance Department's production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth are on sale now!
Coger Theatre
December 3-5 at 7:30 and December 6 at 2:30
Tickets: $8, $12, $14
Click Here to purchase tickets online, or visit any Missouri State box office.
Flushed
with victory over enemy forces, generals Macbeth and Banquo are met on
a stormy heath by three witches who predict that Macbeth will become
King of Scotland. Once this seed is planted, Macbeth and his equally
ambitious wife will stop at nothing to fulfill the prophesy and secure
their power! One murder leads to many in a spiral of escalating evil,
while the political, moral and natural order descend into chaos.
Shakespeare's shortest tragedy moves at a rapid pace toward its
inevitable, cataclysmic conclusion! Written circa 1600, the play's
timeless themes still resonate.
Sponsored by KTXR-Timeless Love Songs, KY3, GO Magazine, 417 Magazine and Educational Community Credit Union.

Holiday Givings
Polk County Humane Society
(PCHS) is a No-Kill organization that, with the help of foster homes,
provides temporary housing and care for dogs and cats. And with their
new shelter facilities opening the first week of November, they will
have a greater than ever need for supplies to care for animals they
previously had to turn away. In addition to the shelter, PCHS will
continue to bring the dogs to the Springfield PetsMart on Saturday
mornings to participate in the adoption clinic. The new shelter is
just one reason why Polk County Humane Society is excited to be adopted
by the Theatre & Dance Department for the holiday season.
Northwood Hills Care Center is situated in rural Humansville, Missouri. Northwood Hills has served the Humansville community for twenty
years providing inpatient and outpatient
rehabilitation, return-to-home programs, and the highest level of
senior health care.
The staff at Northwood Hills Care Center strives to make tomorrow
better than today for the residents they serve, and that is why they
are overwhelmingly appreciative of our efforts to gather comfort items
that some of their senior residents are missing out on.
To
support one or both of these organizations, please see the donation
lists posted outside Angie's office (CRA359). The collection boxes
will remain there from November 1st until December 10th
(last day of classes). She will then transport the items to each
facility. There will also be cards to sign for the Northwood
residents.
