Watch the recording from the 2026 Signature in the Schools production of This Ends In Blood.

After a game-winning interception and mysterious prophecy, third-string football receiver Mac seems suddenly destined for greatness. Buoyed by promises for a future that had always seemed impossible, Mac and his ambitious cheerleader girlfriend, Beth, set out on a deadly conquest to fulfill the high expectations others have set for them. Featuring a cast and crew of local high school students and professional actor Danny Gavigan (Strategic Love Play), this contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth is a ruthless commentary on the dangers of perfection culture, the crush of academic pressure and the toxic competition to win it all.

By Dani Stoller
Inspired by The Tragedy of Macbeth
