Mad Horse Theatre Presents: Dark Horse Nights! This new series of staged readings presents works that provide additional insights and conversation to the mainstage productions they align with. In our inaugural reading, THE WITCH OF EDMONTON is presented alongside Jen Silverman’s WITCH, a modern re-telling of the same story.
“The Witch of Edmonton has received considerable attention recently both from scholars and critics interested in witchcraft practices and also from the directors in the theatre. The play, based on a sensational witchcraft trial of 1621, presents Mother Sawyer and her local community in the grip of a witch-mania reflecting popular belief and superstition of the time.”
Directed by Cora Therber. Readings will be held on Wednesday, October 16 and Wednesday, October 23 at 7:30pm. All events are Pay-What-You-Decide: https://ci.ovationtix.com/36205/production/1215157
Readers for this event include Company Members Tootie Van Reenan and Allison McCall, joined by Guest Artists Jared Mongeau, Jeff Ruel, George Sopko, Juliet Tasker, Brooke Bolduc, and Tom Haushalter.
