The Monomoy Theatre is supported by the remarkable Chatham and Cape community as well as the University of Hartford and The Friends of Monomoy Theatre. Unlike so many summer theaters where the students serve as apprentices with the task of supporting professional designers, technicians and performers, the Monomoy Theatre is a student driven operation. We engage professional theatre artists to serve, in a very real way, as teachers, mentors and examples for the students to follow and from whom the students can learn. In twelve weeks, eight shows ranging from hit musicals to Shakespeare are designed, rehearsed, built and performed. It's a fast-paced, enriching and extraordinary creative environment that provides a challenging and rewarding artistic experience to these talented young artists as well as our audiences. The Monomoy Theatre has launched many successful careers and offers a theatrical experience you are unlikely to find anywhere else in the country. Visit us this summer!

What hospitable, fun and informative folks! I’m in my 30s, but finally getting a chance to genuinely pursue my interest in magick, and related arts/crafts. On a spontaneous visit to Salem this weekend, I decided to visit The Witchery and try their crafting offerings. Do call ahead and make sure you can book your time! Luckily they had the last spot before closing when I called. I was warmly greeted by name on arrival, and personally oriented to the crafting options and materials by Gret, one of the owners. When I explained what I was interested in and some of my thoughts on the intentions I wanted to incorporate into my project, Gret personally did some research using books and internet to help me find just the right materials to energetically realize my piece (a mini-broom). In fact, when we found that bay leaves might make a good addition, she waited for me to go next door and buy some, because she was out! She really seemed to care that I be able to make an authentic piece that I could be proud of. It was fun too because she really likes to learn new things, and so we got to enjoy that thrill together as we researched. It was like I had a friendly, genuine mentor for the session- not just some cashier waiting for me to glue up something and pay for it. So if you’re looking for a more personal, mindful, engaging touch to your visit to Salem, head over and make some arts and crafts at The Witchery!

Illusionists Joel Acevedo and Steve Kradolfer join their talents in a performance that is engaging, hilarious, and mystifying. As one of only 50 guests, you will experience the magic just a few feet from your eyes. Add the sophisticated elegance of Boston’s Hampshire House and the result is a uniquely entertaining experience you'll remember for a long time. The event starts 30 mins before showtime with a pre-show reception in the mansion's Baker Bar, where you'll find a vast selection of cocktails and beverages available for purchase. At show time, guests enter the Library where they will witness surreal situations come to life. Common objects will appear, vanish, teleport to impossible locations, and move across the room in inexplicable ways. You will also experience the wonders of the human mind through masterful demonstrations of telepathy, precognition, and mind reading. Join us and see why Four-Handed Illusions is one of Boston's highest rated shows!
If you are looking for something a bit different, and loads of fun, check out these guys. They have been around for seven years, enough time to refine a superbly executed evening of illusions that will keep you baffled. The banter and audience interaction are enough to keep you laughing, and add on top of that some really excellent illusions, and voila! Nice night, followed by yummy dinner at the sublimely cozy 75 Chestnut. Thanks guys!

See the ONLY magician to appear on Penn & Teller: Fool Us THREE Times. Paul Gertner brings his show Miracles & Other Deceptions to Boston at the classic downtown Omni Parker House on Friday nights beginning spring 2018. Miracles & Other Deceptions is a 75-minute program of innovative theatrical sleight-of-hand magic. The show is performed for a small exclusive audience where the magic happens close-up, right before your eyes. The magic you will see is original material created and performed by world champion sleight-of-hand expert Paul Gertner. At each show premium VIP “At the Table” Seats will give 10 lucky people an interactive opportunity to become part of the show. Paul Gertner is recognized by his peers as one of the finest sleight-of-hand magicians in the world today and he holds multiple first place awards in international competitions. Three Magician of the Year Awards from the Magic Castle in Hollywood... Three Tonight Show Appearances... and Three Fool Us Performances.
I simply cannot imagine enjoying a magic show more than I did Paul Gertner's. Before the show, I had watched all of Paul's appearances on Penn & Teller Fool Us on YouTube, and so I came in with pretty high expectations for the live show. Seeing Paul live blew my mind way more than I ever could have expected! He is an extremely nice person and readily involves audience members in breathtaking tricks, which is easily facilitated by the intimate (<20 people) setting. Getting to see Paul's extraordinary sleight of hand up close is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Book your tickets now!!

In Mind Reading Confidential, Jon Stetson shares fun and intimate thoughts from the minds of his audience. He reveals stories that are outrageously funny, or even beautifully heart warming, and every demonstration is amazing. Stetson was the inspiration for the CBS hit television series “The Mentalist”. He blends the art of Mystery with the study of Psychology, the predictability of human nature and the power of intuition, with a disarming sense of humor. The result is slack jawed amazement, where the most skeptical of audience members begin to feel a renewed sense of wonder as impossibilities become realities. Mind Reading Confidential takes place in Boston's historic Omni Parker House hotel, the longest continuously operating hotel in the United States.
It was a fun-filled event in an intimate setting on a cold evening. The show was way more interactive and enjoyable than I had anticipated. Jon Stetson has a great sense of humor and knows how to keep his audience captivated.
