Rousuck's Review: 'High School Coven' at Strand Theater Company.

It's time for another visit with Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins us each week with her reviews of Maryland's regional stage. Today, she spotlights Strand Theatre Company's new production of Kaela Mei-Shing Garvin's High School Coven. The topical coming-of-age drama focuses on four high-school girls who form a witches' coven to cope with the pressures of being teenage girls. Those pressures range from mundane concerns over finding the perfect homecoming dress and connecting with a significant other, to the darker realities of sexual assault. The play is directed at the Strand Theater by Lee Conderacci, who guides a cast that includes Greta Boeringer, Tatiana Nya Ford, Libbey Kim, Betse Lyons, Jess Rivera, Nichemat Judith (“NJ”) Saroff and Julia Creutzer as understudy/swing. High School Coven continues at Strand Theater, located at 5426 Harford Road, Baltimore MD 21214, through February 12th.
