Page 8 The INDEPENDENT, March 15, 2000 Something for all ages and tastes on upcoming CTPA programs Two very diverse programs await theatre-goers this month at Longview’s Columbia The atre for the Performing Arts. The first is Shakespeare’s Macbeth, which will be pre sented at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 18. Set in Scotland, Macbeth is a classic exploration of the per sonal and moral consequences of ambition and the quest for individual power. Assured by three witches that he will be king, and that he cannot be killed “by any man or woman born,” Macbeth yields to his - and his wife’s - ambition. They betray their king, their allies and, they discover, themselves. This is an edgy new produc tion by The Acting Company, America’s premiere touring repertory theater. Founded in 1972 by Margot Harley and the late John Houseman, The Act ing Company has so far per formed 77 plays - including 18 by Shakespeare - for more than two-million people in 48 states and seven foreign coun tries. Company alumni include such fine stage actors as Lisa Banes, Frances Conroy, Kevin Kline and David Ogden Stiers.
