Opening Friday - “Miss Witherspoon” at the MAC!
Aug 5, 2025
The MAC Theater’s production of Miss Witherspoon is a hilariously thought-provoking comedy about a woman’s reluctant journey through reincarnation and the afterlife. The title character, Miss Witherspoon, has given up on life but finds herself caught in the “Bardo,” a cosmic waiting room. Guided—or rather prodded—by Maryamma, an unwavering yet kind South Asian woman, Miss Witherspoon confronts her resistance to reincarnation and learns unexpected lessons through her short-lived lives on earth. With biting wit and poignant moments, this play explores themes of mortality, growth, and redemption with a humorous touch.
Written by Christopher Durang and directed by local favourite Kate Fishman, the cast and crew are: Maura Van Voris, Laura Stevens (Sunday Matinees), Natalya Carreiro, Kate Fishman, Ben Freeman, Cynthia Johnson
with our backstage: Phoebe Van Inwegen, Andrea Audette and technical director: Steve McManus. The show runs on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday matinee. Tickets are $20 members and $23 nonmembers and are on sale at marionartcenter.org/events or at the MAC. The MAC is a participant in Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program.
