GUEST ARTIST SERIES: Theatre

Open Eye Theatre presents a Walking Shadow Theatre Company production

WITCH

March 22 – April 13, 2025

By Jen Silverman
Directed by Cody R. Braudt and Amy Rummenie

The Devil comes to town, seeking souls and granting wishes. But the local witch, Elizabeth, has a different idea. Based on a true story.

About Our Guest Artist Series

In addition to our MainStage productions, Open Eye is deeply committed to curating and presenting a dynamic Guest Artist Series that highlights emerging local artists and innovative performing ensembles who tell stories in ways that are fresh, fun, and experimental. 

Darkness descends on Edmonton

A 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 riff on a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.
