What I liked
The humor and the “why”
What I didn't like
Based on my tastes, I would have loved to see the actual “how”
My overall impression
Why We Become Witches is the story of Laura (or Aunt Lolly as she’s known to her niece and nephew) trying to take back her assertion. We see just how much Laura is taken for granted by her family when all she wants to do is be left alone and to be independent and to do her own things on her own time. With that constant badgering, she enters into a deal with the Devil as it’s the only way she can really get what she wants. This is a show about standing up for yourself and gaining your confidence back. This is a one woman show (starring Lisa K. Wyatt, who you might recognize as Kevin’s girlfriend on “The Office”) with voice recordings of other actors. Not only can you feel the disappointment and struggles she faces on the daily, but you can see into her good heart by the positive comedic responses she has at times. This is not about horror or pentagrams or cauldrons or any other sort of “typical” witch clichés, this is about gaining your freedom back by less than traditional means.
