News Macbeth: Let It Be to Benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts School of Film & Television's upcoming production of Macbeth: Let It Be, a multimedia staging of the Shakespeare classic, will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

The production, which is adapted, designed and directed by Eileen Connolly, will play the Hudson Guild Theater Dec. 12, 13, 15 and 16 at 8 PM and Dec. 14 at 3 PM.

The show features the students of the new three-year theatre training program at the New York Conservatory: Andhy Mendez (Macbeth), Zade Oblenes (Lady Macbeth), Eric Whitten (Banquo), Tyler Gattoni (Macduff), Dannie Flanagan (Dancer Witch), Stephen Irvine (Malcolm), Mike Komala (Duncan/Ensemble), Anastasia Zorin (Lady Macduff/Ensemble), Robert Milhouse (Hecate/Ensemble), Kara Young (Witch), Katy Kirkwood (Witch), Bean Brennan (Ensemble), Jake Zachry (Ensemble) and Jesuhan Malave (Ensemble).

Macbeth: Let It Be, according to press notes, is "set at Christmas-time in the post-Vietnam War era [and] weaves together a tapestry of imagery: go-go girls clad in American flag bikinis, swaggering salsa dancing soldiers, a Zen martial arts exercise with Birnham Wood birch poles, naked rag-doll baby marionettes, a karaoke-singing Lady Macbeth, and a Handel-singing finale that climaxes in a modern dance and hand to hand combat collision."

The creative team also includes Tyler Gattoni (film projections), Eileen Connolly, Sean Roschman, Andhy Mendez and Robert Milhouse (dance choreographers) and Tyler Gattoni and Eric Whitten (combat choreographers).

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is the nation's largest industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization.
