The famous fairytale witches are tired and want to retire. But how? Who will do their dirty deeds? At the annual “SHREW” conference (Seasonal Harvest Rendezvous of Enchanting Women), the host, the magic mirror, suggests a storyline reboot, a PR makeover. The “ladies” must try to right their last wrong, but as they set about to rectify the evils they have thrust upon the victims, chaos ensues. These witches wonder why they seem to be very BAD at being GOOD. Is there a saboteur in their midst? Will they ever be able to head off into the sun or be trapped by the never-ending darkness of the moon? A campy romp through a new point of view of the villains we love to hate.
We have had a staged reading with audience and significant changes were made based on those learnings but I would love to have another so I could see how the new draft is received by an audience and I would ultimately love a workshop of the musical to take it to the next level. A playwright since 2007, Erica Allen McGee has written 2 nationally produced musicals (book and score) and one musical unpublished, 8 children’s musicals, and three holiday pageants. She has also written several ten-minute plays and two straight plays, one of which (Oy Vey Y’all) has just received the 2024 @stage_craft stage play mentorship prize. Her shows, Girls Raised in the South-GRITS: The Musical and Cinnamon GRITS: Christmas in the South are published by Broadway Licensing and have been performed all over the US. Her new musical, “DeWitched” has been workshopped in Charlotte, North Carolina and her children’s plays have been produced through her children’s theater organization, Playground Players in the Carolinas. She has recently received her MFA in Creative Writing from Mount Saint Mary’s University in LA and is looking forward to finding a home for her works created out of that program and for works to come. Erica is the Dramatist Guild Ambassador for North and South Carolina, is a songwriter, vocal coach, theater and choral director who has also had success acting on the stage and screen. She currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband Ryan, daughter Tara and chi-weenie Lizzie. www.ericamcgee.com |
