About the Play
The Tragedy of Macbeth is Shakespeare’s classic saga of a man whose ambition gets the better of him as he travels a path of fate. With witches that prophesy greatness and doom, our hero is surprised when destiny first offers success — but his greed soon causes tragedy as he pushes fate forward faster perhaps than what might have been meant.

Filled with music, humor, deception, and more, we would love for you to help us celebrate this classic tale together, and reflect on timeless power struggles, political turmoil, and the many ways the march of time pushes forward.

Run time is ~90 minutes
The play is acceptable for all ages, though there are symbolic depictions of violence.

Audiences are encouraged to bring picnics to enjoy along with the story (as well as picnic blankets or other seating). In case of inclement weather, please check social media for updates.

Director - Sara BenBella
Ensemble: Felicia Hinojosa, Devony Hof, Julia Stemper, Carolyn Waldee, and Theo Zucker
