Tales From The Æther

In mid-19th-century New York City, two Sicilian sisters chase the promise of a new life. But when the younger sister pursues a career in theatre, the stories she writes have an odd way of becoming real, for better and for worse. A Taiwanese shopkeeper in their tenement, plotting a secret escape with the woman he loves, watches his own life unravel on the sister's stage. He becomes convinced her words are a spell. To break free, he must confront the strange magic that binds them all.Written by Jackie Jorgenson and Kevin ChengStarringEleonora Andronaco as Caterina SpataroJackie Jorgenson as Vittoria SpataroKevin Cheng as Lin ZhenNick Gangone as Father BianchiJoe Diez as Signor ContiMelissa Peltier as Signora BelliniJessica Thompson as JadwigaJackie Jorgenson as Jadwiga’s MotherCarlos Martinez as Burly ManJess Thompson as Young ChildERA S as WomanSelena Mikes as Woman 2Jane Wing as Woman 3Klára Horáková as Woman 4Brett Stephens as ManAurora Pasos as Man 2Rachel Sun as Man 3David Wamala as Man 4Eduardo Almonte as BusinessmanChristopher Matos as ProducerRyan Bogie as DoctorSophia Squito as PasserbyRyan Bogie as Brute 1Jean-Paul Boucher as Brute 2Tony Westfield as Brute 3Skullie as MariaPandahman as ActorTap Rudra as Actor & Heckler Sarah Jamgotch as ServantFreddy Almonte as NewsboySound mixing by Kevin ParadaEditing and Directing by Jackie JorgensonFeaturingBandytaMusic by Jessica ThompsonLyrics by Jessica Thompson, Jolanta Sobolewska & Lucia MallardiPerformed by Tap Rudra and Jessica ThompsonAndMournful Siciliana by Steve OxenA Shared Manifest Entertainment Production

Season 1, The Witch of Rockwood Cove, follows Kyna, a witch who travels from town to town trying to prevent a hysteria that leads to witch trials, caused by the blight, rye ergot. Since she uses her magic to do so, she ultimately puts herself in danger for a greater cause. The moral to this season's story? Don't light yourself on fire to keep others warm.
