Thank you to everyone who was part of our “Witches Brew” on Sunday night! Our seven tales of witchery and witchcraft were enjoyed by our great audience along with those watching and listening from offstage. Eleven years after the first “Witches Brew” at the old Vintage Theatre, this second version at the current Vintage was a wicked delight. Thank you to our actors – Anna, Maria, James, Kaity, Debbie, Linda, Ara, Emily, Joi, Bethany, and Ayden – for their portrayals of witches, witch friends, and witch victims. Thank you to directors Lorraine, Kathryn and Matt for bringing these magical stories to life, and thanks to Beth, Jeremy, John, Doug, Tyler and the ushers for adding sound and light and making the evening run smoothly. Thank you to Vintage Theatre for letting us tell our midnight tales in their home, and thank you to Witch Marcheska for casting the fishbowl-drawing spell.

We feel like doing another “Witches Brew” right away for our next show, but instead we’ll be dreaming up our show themes for the 2026 season. We’ll announce those in November and our next One Night Stand will be in February. Thank you all!

From the steps of a Salem courthouse to a local occult shop, it's an evening of comedy and drama, history and a little horror (and two screams so far).
