FIREHOUSE MAINSTAGE
world premiere
witchduck
Written BY Eva Devirgilis
DIRECTED BY Rebecca Wahls
co-produced with cadence
It's 1706. Virginia’s last convicted witch is sentenced to trial by water. What the duck? Over 300 years later, she still won't stay down. The true story of Grace Sherwood resurfaces in WitchDuck—a wickedly subversive new play that proves once and for all: women are hysterical.
Pay-What-You-Will Preview: 7th
Opening Night: Friday, May 8th
Final Performance: Sunday, May 24th
The john mitchell jr. project
The Firehouse Theatre, in collaboration with the Virginia Museum of History and Culture and the Richmond Planet Foundation, has commissioned playwright Kristen Adele Calhoun to dramatize the life and times of John Mitchell Jr., the “fighting editor” of The Richmond Planet Newspaper. The John Mitchell Jr. Project serves as a pilot for ongoing partnership between Firehouse Theatre and the Virginia Museum of History and Culture to dramatize untold stories from Virginia's history. Project strategy and marketing will be provided by BROWNBAYLOR™.
