CoH: Witches Among Us

Center on Halsted presents a staged reading of the new musical Witches Among Us, with book by Rick Karlin and songs by Scott Free. Tickets for Witches Among Us are $10 (door only) to support cultural programming at Center on Halsted. Set in the late 1950s, Witches Among Us examines the lives of a group of New York witches and warlocks who gather at secluded bars and clubs in Greenwich Village. They “pass” as mortals until an author plans a book exposing their way of life, and one of the community’s most powerful witches falls in love with the book’s publisher. Witches Among Us is directed by Steve Hickson. Composer Scott Free will lead a jazz ensemble, including members of local band The Heat Birds, during the reading. Following the performance, the show’s creators and director Steve Hickson invite the audience to give feedback during a Q&A session.
