God of Carnage was McCracken's first full-length production he directed. This production was one of the installments in Otterbein's Directing program, as he was one of three students chosen in 2025 to produce a production under the guidance of the faculty. With limitations on the number of actors used, limited lighting, limited sound, and no outside elements to be used in the production, McCracken used original creative elements to bring this production to life. This production was performed in front of audiences of 75+ and received great reviews from the student body as well as the faculty.
