Meet the PRODUCTION TEAM

  Kayla Lees (Director) is beyond thrilled to be returning to Showtimers, wearing a completely new hat, as Director! You may remember her as Hermes (The Iliad, The Odyssey...), Butch (Dracula Rides Again ), or as Essie (You Can't Take It With You).

A Letter from the President

 As we close the books on our Diamond Jubilee season, we are thrilled you’ve joined us for today’s performance of Macbeth. One of the most heralded plays in history, a chilling tragedy brought to life on the Showtimers stage for the very first time. 

Our aim at Showtimers is simple - to foster a life-long appreciation of the performing arts through our productions and performances. This year, we’ve seen incredible performances that have brought new community members to our theatre - on stage, behind the scenes, and in the audience!

Whether it’s a classic tragedy, a hilarious farce, a pensive historical drama or a spectacular musical, we hope that you get to experience some of the best things theatre can bring, right here in this building. 

With the close of this show, we begin our 76th season! You’ll find more information about next year’s exciting productions in this program. Season tickets are on sale now! 

From the bottom of my heart, I want to personally thank you for being a part of this community. Your presence and support are vital to our success as a theatre. 

Thank you for your support!


Cory Hollingsworth

A Letter from the Director

    I have always had a soft spot for Shakespeare, but it wasn't because of the sonnets or the love stories. It was because of the drama! The misunderstandings, betrayal and murder are what had me hooked from the start. 

   Shakespeare's works are timeless for a reason. Being fueled by fear, love, jealousy, and ambition, holds as true today as it did back when Macbeth was written. Just like these characters, we all experience loss, uncertainty, and the desire for a better life, this year especially it seems. So, I wanted to set this production in our very own mountains. These old Appalachian mountains hold so many stories and superstitions, it just made sense. It truly feels surreal (yet fitting) to have this particular show be my Directorial Debut and I couldn't be more honored (and floored) at the extreme level of professionalism, talent and collaboration that everyone has poured into this production, both on & off stage.

   Thank you all for supporting this theater and this community. To the cast & crew, I can't thank you enough for bringing me peace in times of madness and uncertainty. Finally, I'd like to take a moment to dedicate my efforts in this production, to Nesha Ali and Chase Garcia. You both left this world too soon and we are all changed without your presence. This one's for you, my loves. I will do my best to not murder a king and my friends, in your absence.


-Kayla Lees

Director
