CP2 Readers Theatre Weekend – March 7 – 9 – WITCH and THE BURDENS

MARCH 7 & 8, 2025
Fri 8pm & Sat 2pm

WITCH
By Jen Silverman
Directed by Kit Colbourn

A fable for our times | CP2 Mini Festival
Utterly spellbinding.

A charming devil arrives in a quiet village to bargain for the souls of its residents.Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a “witch,” but her soul is not so easily bought. 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.

Witch is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. concordtheatricals.com

Into the Breeches!
By George Brant

A laugh out loud comedy | Main Stage
Delicious celebration of love, art, and community.

That time-honored adage, “The Show Must Go On,” takes on new meaning in this endearing and moving comedy set at a small theater in Wappingers Falls, NY in 1942. With the actors and director off at war, a group of passionate women face the daunting challenge of preserving the theatre’s reputation for mounting outstanding Shakespearean productions. Crammed with laughs and an abundance of visual humor, their fierce determination and unbridled enthusiasm will have audiences cheering as they prove that art and community triumph, even in times of peril.
