An all-consuming pursuit of power leads to betrayal, murder and madness in William Shakespeare's classic tragedy MACBETH, on stage at Hickory Community Theatre from October 14th through 29th.
Returning to the HCT stage as doomed domestic servant Seyton is Mollie Johns.
Johns is a Maiden resident and middle school honor roll student. She is a member of her school's Drama, Robotics, and Jr. Beta clubs. In addition to acting and academics, Johns enjoys reading and is currently taking online French language lessons. C'est bon!
Johns previously appeared at Hickory Community Theatre as Shakedown Louis in last season's BUGSY MALONE. Other area credits include The Witch in HANSEL AND GRETEL and Tweedle Dee in ALICE IN WONDERLAND, both at The Green Room Community Theatre.
As one of three Johns kin performing in MACBETH, the production connects her devotion to family and community with her adoration of The Bard. "I love Shakespeare and I auditioned with my family, which is special".
Performances of MACBETH are Fridays and Saturdays, October 14th through 29th at 7:30 PM; Sundays, October 16th & 23rd at 2:30 PM; and, Thursday, October 27th at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $16 for adults, $10 for youth and students.
