Happy October! the serpent under't opens at the end of the month! Don't wait to get your tickets - performances are filling up. Grab yours at the link in our bio 🐍🎉

the serpent under't is an experimental dance theatre adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. It explores the shadows of the human psyche where ambition, guilt, and fate intertwine with the supernatural. Blending movement, dance, and spoken text, this reimagining draws inspiration from horror and the macabre of Edgar Allen Poe.

Performances:
Thursday, October 29th, 7:30 PM – Opening Night Reception
Friday, October 30th, 7:30 PM – Free Performance for UMBC Students
Saturday, October 31st, 2:00 PM **NEW TIME!
