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

THE BURDENS
By Matt Schatz
Directed by Matt Andrews

Dark, family comedy | CP2 Mini Festival
A contemporary play with multi-generational themes and a wicked sense of humor.

Adult siblings Mordy and Jane have a problem. Their centenarian grandfather is an emotional and financial burden on the family, and he just won’t die. Scheming almost entirely via text messages, the siblings hatch an outrageous plan to relieve themselves of their family’s burdens and their own.

The Burdens is presented through special arrangement with TRW Plays. trwplays.com

CP2 is SILVER sponsored by Powerhouse Theater and Stewarts Shops.
