Weโre all heading to summer camp with Pima Theaterโs original production โWandless: Power Beyond Spells.โ
But this isnโt the canoeing on the lake, hiking in the forest kind of summer camp experience.
The campers in the Pima Community College student-penned โWandlessโ possess unexpected powers that put them in the crosshairs of Cordelia, a sinister enchantress who is a bit on the greedy side: She wants those powers for herself.
Cordellia (Timea Post), front, leads a group of campers in a scene from Pima Community Collegeโs production of โWandless: Power Beyond Spells.โ It runs Nov. 21-24 at Pimaโs Black Box Theatre.
โWandless,โ which runs Thursday-Sunday, Nov. 21-24, at Pimaโs Black Box Theatre, was written by Pima Theater students and directed by Pima alumnus Samantha Cormier.
Cormier, who went on to the University of Arizonaโs School of Theatre, Film & Television to earn her bachelorโs of fine arts and a masterโs from the Savannah College of Art and Design, works with several Tucson theaters.
Pima Community Collegeโs Theatre Department is staging an original play written by students. โWandless: Power Beyond Spellsโ runs Nov. 21-24 at Pimaโs Black Box Theatre.
To combat Cordelia, the campers band together โbalancing bravery, humor and trust to defeat her and protect their future,โ according to program notes. The play explores courage, friendship and personal growth through thrilling plot twists and witty dialogue.
The show is at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Black Box Theatre in Pima Community Collegeโs West Campus Center for the Arts, 2202 W. Anklam Road. Tickets are $5 and $10 through eventbrite.com; Pima students receive one free ticket.
