SUMMARY:WITCH
DESCRIPTION:UMBC Theatre presents WITCH by Jen Silverman\, directed by Katie Hileman. A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes.

As the devil returns to convince her — and then returns again — unexpected passions flare\, alliances are formed\, and the village is forever changed. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama\, this sharp\, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by. \n\nPerformances \nFriday\, December 4\, 7:30 p.m. — Opening Night Reception\nSaturday\, December 5\, 2 p.m. — Free performance for UMBC students\nSaturday\, December 5\, 7:30 p.m.\nSunday\, December 6\, 2 p.m. — Free performance for UMBC students \n\nTicket information is forthcoming. \n\nWITCH is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French\, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com. \nASL Interpreted performances are TBA.

SUMMARY:Merlin
DESCRIPTION:UMBC Theatre presents Merlin by Susan McCully\, directed by Eve Muson. During a catastrophic storm surge in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor\, a mutual-aid collective coordinates emergency shelter operations while a woman searches desperately for her missing dog\, Merlin. Inside a media studio used as an emergency coordination center\, activists navigate tensions surrounding privilege\, leadership\, and collective responsibility while organizing shelter for hundreds of displaced residents. Meanwhile\, Merlin undergoes a surreal evolutionary transformation — from dog to otter to fish to microalgae — symbolizing ecological interdependence and adaptation. As the storm intensifies\, the characters confront the limits of individual heroism and the necessity of collective action. The play ultimately imagines survival through networks of cooperation and mutual aid rather than domination or escape. \n\nPerformances \nThursday\, April 1\, 7:30 p.m. — Opening Night Reception\nFriday\, April 2\, 7:30 p.m. — Free performance for UMBC students\nSaturday\, April 3\, 2 p.m.\nFriday\, April 9\, 7:30 p.m.\nSaturday\, April 10\, 7:30 p.m.\nSunday\, April 11\, 2 p.m. — Free performance for UMBC students\, Prospective Student Day\, Actor Talkback \n\nTicket information is forthcoming. \nASL Interpreted performances are TBA.
