Our story.

Theatre superstition dictates that there are two phrases
which can never be uttered inside the theatre space;
two phrases so completely terrifying, accursed, blighted, and ghastly
their very mention is said to bring catastrophe upon the cast and crew.
These phrases are "Good Luck" and "Macbeth".

...so we named our theatre company GOOD LUCK MACBETH.
(HI WITCHES! AND GHOSTS! AND SPIRITS! HAUNTS, FATES, AND GHOSTLY APPARITIONS ARE WELCOME HERE!)

Founded in 2009 at the height of the economic recession in the heart of Reno.

Our beloved city was so deeply impacted by financial hardship we led the nation in home foreclosures, bankruptcies, and unemployment, and artistic opportunities were as difficult to come by as business loans or stable jobs. This terrible time also provided us with an interesting bright spot in the form of plenty of creative time, and it was then that we decided to create our theatre company; an affordable and accessible space where we could provide a voice, a venue, and an artistic home to playwrights, poets, singers, songwriters, actors and artists.

With every disadvantage against us, from the city we were living in, to the amount of money we had (none), to our lack of a space to perform in, we forged ahead, powered by a can-do spirit inherent to all Renoites and plenty of whiskey.

We are named "Good Luck Macbeth" not because we don't believe in the fates, but because we do. We believe that fate will sometimes put up an obstacle just to see if you're determined enough to get around it, and once you've succeeded, you will own your fate and make your luck.

A Handy Primer on Theatre Etiquette, Courtesy of GLM

Were you raised by badgers? Do you find yourself often wondering if a particular situation calls for shoes? Is the line between "pants mandatory" and "pants optional" a little bit blurry? Don't worry, it is for us as well.

Luckily for everyone, we have created this handy guide to theatre etiquette, starring the cast and staff of GLM. We'll teach you why you can't use your cellphone during a show, why you shouldn't heckle the cast the same way you heckle at an Aces game, and why falling asleep in the theatre reeeeeeally isn't the best idea.

Pleased to meet you!

GLM operates through the direction of our Board of Directors, the tireless work of our Staff, and the continued generosity of community members. Come meet the merry band of weirdos who run our theatre.
