Deb and Sandy are auditioning Tim for the role of the Wolf in a production of The Three Little Pigs , but there’s a mysterious haze in the basement of the Mortier Civic Playhouse and that, in addition to interruptions from the director of ‘the Scottish play’ that’s having its opening night upstairs, is making things difficult. Then, the mysterious Liz shows up throwing the room into utter chaos, revealing the deep, ancient evil at the heart of the community theater audition process.

It Is Magic is the latest play by Mickle Maher, writer of such Catastrophic favorites as There Is a Happiness That Morning Is , The Hunchback Variations , Song About Himself , the world premiere of Small Ball , co-produced by former Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey, and others.

Directed by core artist Jeff Miller , whose past directing credits include Catastrophic hits Buried Child , Curse of the Starving Class , Baby Screams Miracle , and The Book of Grace .Read more
