The Shakespearean drama features Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Driven by ambition, they begin a reign of terror and are haunted by witches, ghosts, and their own regret. A bloody tale from the mists of time brought forward to today, Macbeth shows that when the human removes itself from nature, the supernatural rises up to repair the balance.

The Theater Department and Casting Hall Productions presented "A Christmas Scarol," an audio comedy directed by theater major Edward Spaulding in December.
