Concordia Theatre kicks off the 2024-25 season soon with the first production, "Witch," by Jen Silverman — a new spin on the idea of a Jacobean drama.
This insightful production, directed by Dr. David Wintersteen, professor and director of theatre for the college, brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “the devil’s in the details.”
Inspired by the 1621 tragicomedy “The Witch of Edmonton,” in "Witch," 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 Lab Theatre of the Frances Frazier Comstock Theatre at 8 p.m. Oct. 10-12 and 2 p.m. Oct. 13. The box office will open one hour before each performance; tickets are available online or at the door.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and free for Concordia faculty and staff, alumni, high school prospective students, and Fargo-Moorhead college students.
Concordia College is a four-year liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America offering more than 140 areas of study, including 12 preprofessional programs.
