I <3 My Coven
I <3 My Coven by Jenny Rachel Weiner
I <3 My Coven follows a group of gal pals helping their friend, Amanda, grieving the loss of her boyfriend, Greg.
From Weiner, “This is a play about spirituality and the current trend of co-opting witch culture; about delusion and healing; about groups of women; and about our lord and savior, Stevie Nicks… Don’t be afraid to play into the bigness of them, because aren’t we all always conjuring up old lovers and helping each other through grief and fighting to be the best and trying to live up to our own mothers?
Through this heartfelt comedy, we witness to a story of wishful thinking, womanhood, love, and friendship.
As the Director…
I truly felt fortunate to bring this story to Marymount Manhattan College via their Fall 2023 Black Box Festival. Through this, I was able to not only bring this story to our community, but also collaborate with peers who wanted to act, design, and stage manage this production. It was a wonderful experience.
Through this experience, I felt like I grew in my comedic work, and it solidified that I love pieces that reaffirm the feminine experience. Through comedy, I was able to collaborate with actors and learned to play, rather than coming in with a strict regiment.
