CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR CONVERGENCE THEATRE'S WITCH!
"....Mesmerizing to watch, and movingly performed." - DC Metro Theatre Arts. 
dcmetrotheaterarts.com/2016/10/17/review-witch-convergence-theatre-mead-theatre-lab-flashpoint/
"...Spiritual and all-encompassing."  - MD Theatre Guide
mdtheatreguide.com/2016/10/theatre-review-witch-at-convergence-theatre/
"The game cast of director Elena Velasco's Witch knit together shades of The Crucible and The Exorcist to provide an arresting experience that serves as a dark morality play and timely reminder of women's ongoing fight for safety and equality." - DC Theatre Scene
