MACBETH
- Now Playing!
- Come this April, midst of Spring,
- Is a play about bleak things,
- Bloody, creepy, wicked screams,
- Killers troubled by sharp dark dreams,
- A man and wife, last names Macbeth,
- Renowned authors of regicidal death,
- Witchy puppets, ambition wild,
- Formerly among the mild,
- Double, double, toil and trouble,
- Actors bold who shall not mumble,
- Come and see this ghastly crew,
- Faces familiar and some new,
- Healing Garden, Webster Street,
- Our acting spot is so damn sweet.
A Christmas Carol - December, 2023
- In screens aglow, a tale unfolds. A modern Carol, in codes is told. Scrooge, with heart so icy cold, across the web, his story's told.
Ghosts of Past and Present blend, in pixels, their messages send. Families meet through video's art, joy and love warm every heart.
Future's shadow, grim and dark, a call to change, to make a mark. Scrooge, awakened, learns to share, kindness and love fill the air.
In bits and bytes, the message true, spread goodwill, in all you do. A modern Carol, short and sweet, love and joy, the world to greet!
