Just in time for Halloween, Theatre 29 welcomes audience members to experience the dramatized classic children’s story, “The Witches.” Based on the book by Roald Dahl and faithfully adapted by David Wood, this production will magically appear on the Theatre 29 stage October 6–22.

Real witches are nothing like the ones who wear pointed hats and fly on broomsticks; they look very much like ordinary people. Why, you might even be sitting next to one right now! They have a diabolical plot to rid the world of children once and for all. But, sometimes the evilest schemes are defeated by the tiniest of foes. Our hero and his wise grandmother (a witch aficionado!) just happen to be on holiday at a seaside hotel and come face to face with the Grand High Witch herself! And did we mention children turned into mice? Spicy pea soup? You also might want to avoid free chocolate! This story is fun for the entire family and a slightly spooky Halloween treat.

Roald Dahl’s “The Witches” will run weekends at Theatre 29 from October 6–22 with performances Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for regular admission, $12.50 for seniors and military, and $10 for children under 12 and students with ID (there is a service charge). Tickets are available online at www.theatre29.org or by calling the Theatre 29 Box Office at 760-361-4151.

Founded in 1999, Theatre 29 is an all-volunteer, non-profit (501(c)(3)), Community Theatre Organization. Your support is always appreciated, and volunteers are always welcome.
