Becky Nurse of Salem

A dark contemporary comedy about the ghosts we inherit, and the ones we make.

In Sarah Ruhl’s Becky Nurse of Salem, a descendant of Rebecca Nurse—newly fired from the witch museum and beset by bad luck—goes looking for relief in spells, pills, and a bartender named Bob. Sharp, funny, and more than a little haunted.

This year’s Waterhole Halloween Bash is bigger, louder, and spookier than ever—because for the first time in years, it falls on the actual night of Halloween: Friday, October 31st!

VIVA VERDI!

Sunday, November 2, 4 – 6 pm

VIVA VERDI! is an intimate glimpse into the lives of the celebrated opera singers and musicians currently living out their ‘third act’ while mentoring international music students who live among them at Milan’s unique retirement home, Casa Verdi, built by Giuseppe Verdi in 1896.

The feature documentary follows the lives of these distinguished masters, shining a spotlight on Verdi’s legacy that is still alive and thriving one hundred years later. From these ‘guests of Verdi,’ age 77 to 107, comprised of international opera singers, ballet dancers, musicians, conductors and composers, we hear an extraordinary array of personal and professional stories filled with music, magic and passion, and ultimately learn why Verdi called this remarkable home his “best work.” His generous approach in caring for his colleagues in art, and the energy from the intergenerational exchange that permeates the house, makes Casa Verdi as forward thinking now, as it was then.

Exclusive In-Person Discussion with Director Yvonne Russo After the Screening!

Purchase tickets HERE.
