Director’s Note

On my first day of university, in my very first theatre class, I met my best friend. She introduced me to her roommate, who had a friend-of-a-friend in drama, and before I could even wish for it, my life was full of people who just got me. Fast forward, and that same group of people is a little older, a little wiser, and maybe just a bit more grey—but we still text in a group chat we started back in 2009.

At its heart, Witchful Thinking is a story about finding your people. It’s about those friends who come into your life and stay, no matter what—and I do mean no matter what. It’s a celebration of the friends who’ve cheered us on, seen us cry our eyes out, and even witnessed us act a little bit “witchy,” but stayed.

They may be goblins, but they make the best friends.

On behalf of the students, staff, and the entire CA community, I welcome you to this year’s Junior School production of Witchful Thinking. Thank you for being our people.
