SUMMARY:Idle Muse Theatre Company Presents “Witch\,” September 10 - October 10 at The Edge Off-Broadway Theater
DESCRIPTION:Idle Muse Theatre Company continues its 20th anniversary season and kicks off the Halloween season with Witch\, September 10 – October 10\, written by Jen Silverman\, directed by Idle Muse Ensemble Member Libby Beyreis\, at The Edge Off-Broadway Theater\, 1133 W Catalpa Ave. \nA charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target\, having been labeled a “witch” and cast out by the town\, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her – and then returns again – unexpected passions flare\, alliances are formed and the village is forever changed. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama\, this sharp\, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by. \nThe performance schedule is Thursdays\, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.\, with an added Wednesday performance on October 7 at 8 p.m. General admission tickets are now on sale for $20 and $30\, with $50 “pay it forward” tickets that assist in subsidizing tickets for those who may not be able to access the production otherwise. Student\, senior and group discounts are also available at IdleMuse.org or at the Idle Muse Theatre Company Box Office\, 773.340.9438.
