Witches!? In Salem?!
By Matt Cox
November 7-9 at 7:00 p.m.
This fall, Cannon Theater Company will present “Witches!? In Salem?!” by Matt Cox, the playwright who created the runaway hit play “Puffs” performed at Cannon two years ago. “Witches!? In Salem?!” takes the highly unusual approach of examining the Salem witch trials through Mel Brooks meets Monty Python fast-paced, satirical comedy.
In the spirit of edu-tainment, Jenny Anne Bishop, an eighth grader who got “way too into her class lesson plan on The Crucible” guides us through all the fun facts from the years leading up to, during, and after the Trials. Meet culprits, victims, and bystanders alike as a village in turmoil comes to life.
While the show takes on an appropriately serious tone when dealing with the tragic outcome of the trials, our production will not present any disturbing depictions of those events. Instead, our hope is that the pressure valve of laughter will free us to think about the fundamental human failings that can lead to such a furiously divided culture.
Admission is free to members of the Cannon community, and $10 for guests. Tickets available at the door each night.
Mamma Mia!
Music and Lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus
Book by Catherine Johnson

ABBA's hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman's search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. The story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, creating an unforgettable show.
