Acting Out! Productions and Duck Soupe Troupe bring the classic Roald Dahl story, "The Witches," to life on the Firehouse stage on October 21st for one weekend only. When Boy is suddenly orphaned, he must make a new life with his loving Norwegian Grandmother. She regales him with strange tales about real witches, dangerous women that live among us in ordinary homes, wearing ordinary clothes, and working at ordinary jobs. But though they appear ordinary on the outside, inside they are bursting with evil as they sniff out children and frizzle them! The witches are having their annual meeting at the Hotel Magnificent, a beautiful seaside resort, where we discover their plot to turn every living child into a mouse. When Boy stumbles upon their rotten plan, he finds himself smack in the middle of their wicked snare! Will Boy escape the clutches of the witches? Can Boy and Grandmother stop the witches and save the children? This family-friendly show is filled with special effects, humor, colorful costumes, loads of fun, and original music by local singer-songwriter Peter Sheridan of Amesbury! Come enjoy the spectacle, and celebrate one of the nations all-time favorite children's authors, Roald Dahl.

 

Presented by Acting Out! and Duck Soupe Troupe.
