Witch by Jen Silverman

Clackamas Community College’s Theatre Department will present Jen Silverman’s Witch, as their Winter 2026 Main Stage Production.

Inspired by a 17th-century Jacobean drama, Witch puts a modern twist on timeless themes of temptation, power, and human desire. What if you were offered a deal with the Devil? Mischief is afoot in the sleepy village of Edmonton and the fate of the world is at stake in this smart modern fable. When the emotionally conflicted son of the local lord and an ambitious newcomer come into opposition, help presents itself to both of them in the same guise—as the Devil himself. But while these two young men take advantage of the Devil’s bargain to accomplish their own questionable ends, someone else in town stands her ground—Elizabeth, an outcast whom everyone believes to be a witch. Clever, wickedly funny, and full of sharp insights, Witch asks: what do we truly value, and what are we willing to trade to get it? How much are our souls worth when hope is hard to come by?

A mesmerizing drama that’s filled with unexpected humor and feels as contemporary in theme as today’s headlines. Witch celebrates the power of imagination, identity, and the bonds that connect us—even beyond this world. Silverman’s writing moves effortlessly between the poetic and the colloquial, asking the audience to see the present reflected in the past.

Directed by Allison Moon, Witch features a dynamic ensemble of CCC students and staff, with scenic and lighting design by Chris Whitten, prop design by Shelly Mortimer, and costumes by Aiden McFarland.
