About
Heart of America Shakespeare Festival presents Shakespeare's tragedy of ambition and power in Kansas City's Southmoreland Park this summer. The production runs June 16 through July 5, 2026, exploring how a Scottish general's pursuit of the crown, driven by supernatural prophecy and his wife's manipulation, leads to his psychological unraveling. This traditional staging of Macbeth captures the play's exploration of tyranny, guilt, and the corrupting nature of unchecked ambition.
