Every Witch Way
March 30 – April 1, 2000
Distressed by their loss of yet another spelling bee to the fairies, a group of gnomes trade a magic feather to the evil Witch Hazel (an unforgettably creepy Mary Kay Barkley) in exchange for a school. The Witch doesn’t give them just any school – she steals Thurston school and transforms all the teachers into animals. A group of Thurston students, with the help of the fairies, get the school back and undo the spell on their teachers. This play was memorable for the (ahem!) brevity of the fairy costumes and the unpronounceable line “impenetrable vines.”
