GALVESTON, Texas (Oct. 15, 2024) – Underemployed friends Adam, Matt and Beth are desperate to beat the recession any way they can -- like, for example, combining forces to take over a small island in South America. But when a fortune cookie tells Matt that he will be king and Beth gets a little too handy with a dagger, plans go awry. This hilarious adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth pits friend against friend, ambition against fate, pet-sitting against miniature vicuna mogul-dom.
“Toil & Trouble,” directed Adam Brandner, will be performed at Galveston College on the following dates: Nov. 7-9 at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 15-16 at 2:30 p.m. All performances are in the Galveston College Blackbox Theatre, located in the Fine Arts Building, Room FA-207. This production is presented in repertory with “The Taming” by Lauren Gunderson and directed by GC Performing Arts Coordinator, Liz Lacy.
“Toil & Trouble” is recommended for mature audiences and there will be one 15-minute intermission. Company Members include Eva Arita, Elijah Barrie, Fiona Burton, Daniella Fink, Aaron Gudz, Alyssa Gudz, Isabella Hernandez, Annie Homer, Kayleigh Lorefice, Andreus Lyons, Isaac Morgan, Jackson Pendergrass, Jessica Stell and Diamond West. This production is entered as a participating production in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival.
The Galveston College Theatre Department offers a professional immersive training experience for all students within the disciplines of acting, playwrighting, directing, design, and technology. Four productions a year and a diverse range of theatre courses provides every opportunity for students to develop their theatrical skills. Scholarships are available.
