November 7 & 8
“An arresting blend of evocative humor and eerie gravitas permeates Broomstick, New Orleans playwright John Biguenet's ripely poetic tale of an Appalachian crone who may or may not be a witch. . . the merger of pathos, insight and horror is hair-raising. . . . Biguenet's text [has] an undulating rhythm that ebbs and flows like a rain-swelled river—[but] there's always another hairpin turn to Biguenet's narrative. Tightly woven, richly detailed and fully enjoyable.”
–Los Angeles Times (An LA Times Critics’ Pick)
Starring Judy Simpson Cook
Directed by Jerry Colbert
The Sunday, November 8 performance is SOLD OUT.
Tickets for Saturday 2:30pm and Saturday 7:30pm are still available.
“Playwright John Biguenet’s delightful monologue is a flat out delight. . . It’s hard to imagine a better show to see this Halloween Season” –Stage and Cinema (Los Angeles)
“A must-see . . . Broomstick sweeps away the dust that lies on the path between fantasy and reality . . . so seamless, its ninety minutes fly by.”
–Broadway World (New Jersey)
“Broomstick provides an intriguing conversation about the nature of myth and the evolution of stories. . . . Biguenet's text flows like words from a spell book, dark and brooding, hypnotic and expressive.” -Edge (Portland)
“Broomstick is devilishly ambitious in its simplicity. . . spinning a yarn of terror and loss. . . a gripping tale to be told with the lights off. –The New Orleans Advocate
