Danielle Breitstein

We’re back witches! And we’re back better than ever, for our NEW YORK CITY PREMIERE!!!!!!!! At @roguetheaterfestival August 8th at 8PM at the Flea Theater! But we can’t do it alone, and that’s where y’all come in! Alongside our hard launch of our show, we are launching a crowdfunding campaign! More info on how to support our show is available by following the link in our bio! SYNOPSIS: Being out as a witch in Redacted, Texas isn’t safe, so teen witches Sully, Laz and Rowena hide their identities in school. The only place they can be themselves is Ms. Sophie’s Classroom. But when their safe space is threatened by Ms. Hardy, the new, Bible-grasping Principal, the witches formulate a fake “Spelling Club” to keep her off their backs. While they’re forced to enroll in a spelling bee, Spelling Club becomes a hub for these witches to escape demons they face on a daily, not including the two actual demons from hell they accidentally summon. #newmusical #poppunk #teenwitch #lgbtq
