“I say you should definitely check this out! Shadow Theatre has set the bar high for this season and all the shows that will follow! ”
“Yaga is the perfect addition to a terrifying October, a funny and frightening show about subverted expectations and the biases that can seep into our decision making. And, of course, it has a witch living out in the woods, and what's scarier than that? ”
She’s more than just a wicked old witch. Baba Yaga is a legend, usually known as that elderly woman who lives alone in the woods and grinds the bones of the wicked. But what if she was actually a sexy, smart, modern woman operating off of morally ambiguous motives?
A detective finds himself in a small, isolated town asking, what does the disappearance of the young heir to a yogurt empire have to do with some random lore about an old witch? Matched by an apprehensive local sheriff, a university professor with a taste for younger men, and a whole cast of curious characters, the Slavic myth of Baba Yaga twists into a new labyrinth of secret lives, ancient magic, and multiple suspects.
This comedic fairy tale meets thrilling whodunit, gives voice to an antihero. From now on, you’ll remember the name Baba Yaga for the right reasons.
“What a great show! It will keep you entertained and on the edge of your seat all the way through - and the laughs are many! Highly recommend seeing this show!!! KEVIN O'CONNELL ”
