Prep School: Radio Macbeth

At the conclusion of the finale season in December 2022, SITI Company will cease to operate in its current iteration as a touring, teaching, performing ensemble with an administrative staff and a studio. The business entity that remains, SITI, Inc, will provide service to the field, functioning as a bridge between the legacy of SITI and new generations of ensembles for exploration of international artistic endeavors, and as a hub for archival inquiries, training inquiries and alumni support.

“This was a very emotional and personal decision,” Bogart, the company’s co-artistic director, said in an interview on Tuesday. “Some of the actors have been with the company for around 30 years.” But the company is far from finished, Bogart said. Training and teaching will continue after 2022, and some members, herself included, will continue to work on theatrical projects together. “There’s an appetite for the classes like you wouldn’t believe,” [Anne Bogart] said.

““Radio Macbeth” persuasively proposes that the classic work is not merely something to see, but to hear.”

“This impressive use of sound created a rich atmosphere for Shakespeare’s spookiest play.”

“What starts as a simple table reading by a theatrical company during the radio era assumes a life force of its own as the actors gradually take over the stage while the play takes over them.”
