BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE
by John Van Druten
directed by Michael Stuart
Gillian Holroyd is just your average, modern-day witch, living in a New York apartment with her cat, Pyewacket. Staid, secure publisher, Shepherd Henderson, leads a quiet life until he meets his bewitching downstairs neighbor and her eccentric Aunt Queenie.
Enter Professor Sidney Redlitch who wants to write a book on the secret society of witches in the city with the help of Gillian’s mischievous warlock brother, Nicky.
Gillian finds herself caught between the worlds of magic and mortals, juggling the antics of her aunt and brother as they continue to practice their craft. A caldron full of laughs and sweetness!
From playwright John van Druten comes a lighthearted tale of romance with a twist, made popular by the Jimmy Stewart movie and inspiration for the TV classic Bewitched.
