Thank you for an incredible 2023 Fringe Festival! Stay tuned for information about 2024.
Tiny Witch is a one-witch adaptation of the old and much translated folktale, Bluebeard. Part cabaret, part fantasy fiction stand-up, Tiny Witch is a queer trans allegory, a ritual exorcism and just a damn silly time.
Tiny Witch lives in a portal under your pillow. Every night they leave the 7th dimension and enter ours through this portal to battle away the nightmares that plague your subconscious with a broom they've made from your discarded eyelashes. Tiny Witch is very old and tired, and doesn't have time for your nonsense. They are here to give a lecture on how to be a good Tiny Witch, as per the request of the Interdimensional Academy for Fighting Evil.
Most Tiny Witches don't know they're a tiny witch until they meet one. And Tiny Witch is here to help you know if you are in fact, a Tiny Witch like them. You might learn a lot from them, including how to talk to dragons, how to slay a Bluebeard in 28 days, and how to costruct a proper broom. You might even learn how to travel to the 12th dimension... If you're good. You will definitely learn a spider war song. That is non-negotiable. If you're really lucky, Tiny Witch might sing you a lullaby spell. And that will be very special indeed. Are you a Tiny Witch? Come to the 7th dimension and find out.

izzy is an extra-national transdisciplinary artist, theater-maker, educator and facilitator, living/working/growing in Lenapehoking (philadelphia). they identify as a queer, genderful, eco-feminist-abolitionist, whose art is an imaginarium of joy, folklore and world building. their main curiosities reside around the concepts of Community; what is it really? and how do we actually do it right? and that of Belonging; both as a radical form of resistance and decolonial praxis- as in Tend to the Land, and fight for Land Back; as well as a means of healing one's relationship to self, as in "remembering how to belong to oneself". they are a company member of Applied Mechanics, philly's vanguard experimental theater company, and an associate artist of Delaware Shakespeare. izzy is one of many co-conspirators in the project known as the new philly aesthetic.
