The Visit - 2008 - Arlington, VA (Regional) History , Info & More

based on the play Der Besuch der alten Dame (The Visit) by Friedrich Dürrenmatt

Claire was driven from her hometown in disgrace when she was 17, betrayed by her lover. Many years (and seven husbands) later, she returns (beautifully dressed, but with a wooden leg) to her now-impoverished stomping grounds and offers to save the town. The price? Nothing less than the life of Schell.

by BWW News Desk - Nov 6, 2010


The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, Massachusetts presents THE SPENCERS: THEATRE OF ILLUSION, Saturday, November 6 at 7 pm. The Spencers were named 2009 International Magicians of the Year, joining the ranks of Henning, Copperfield, Penn & Teller and Criss Angel. For these illusionists, magic is no longer merely about baffling the audience by doing something seemingly impossible. Magic these days is about drama, spectacle, interaction, danger and personality.

In one magical experiment, the entire audience is asked to get involved in a stunning, interactive mind reading experience!
