The Unwitting Magician

Presented by The Sublime Theater, The Unwitting Magician by Jeremy Dobrish is a unique theatrical and magical one-night-only experience. It just might be the most different and fascinating time you ever spend in a theater. Oh, and it’s performed by an actor who does it one night and then never does it again. Is it a play? Sort of. Is it a magic show? Kind of. But what if I hate magic? You’ll still love it. So, wait, what is it? Well, a lone actor steps onto a bare stage armed with little more than a music stand and a sealed manila envelope. Inside the envelope: a script they have never seen; its contents a complete mystery. The actor has no idea what sort of theatrical experience may unfold. As the actor reads the script to the audience he (or she) is swept into a whirlwind of impossible feats and playful surprises, becoming an unwitting magician and inviting the audience to question who is truly in control: the performer, the script, or something more magical still?
