THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS: CONCORDIA THEATRE PRESENTS WITCH
MOORHEAD – Concordia College Theatre kicks off their 2024-25 season with their first installment, Witch by Jen Silverman–a new spin on the idea of a Jacobean drama. This insightful production directed by Dr. David Wintersteen brings a whole new idea to the phrase “The devil’s in the details.”
Inspired by “The Witch of Edmonton,” the devil arrives in the village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Being labeled a “witch” and cast out by the citizens of Edmonton, Elizabeth should be an easy target, but her soul is not so easily bought.
Witch will be performed in the Frances Frazier Comstock Theatre Lab Oct. 10-12 at 8:00 p.m. and Oct. 13 at 2:00 p.m. The box office will open one hour before each performance; tickets are available online at cord.edu/theatre under “tickets” or at the door.
