SSCC Theatre proudly presents William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, playing in The Edward K. Daniels Auditorium at Southern State Community College, Hillsboro, Ohio, July 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. and on July 27 at 3:30 p.m., as part of Rainee Angles’ tenth anniversary year as SSCC Theatre’s director.

Macbeth, a brave Scottish general (played by Benjamin Gullett), receives a prophecy from a trio of witches (Paula Campagna, Madison Hatfield, Micaela Countryman) that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife (Stormi Bledsoe), Macbeth murders the king and takes the throne for himself. His reign is racked with guilt and paranoia, and he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler as he is forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion. The bloodbath swiftly takes Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into realms of arrogance, madness, and death.
