Waking The Witch

You have been accused of witchcraft.

And the verdict may have already been decided.

Chicago Fringe Opera presents Waking the Witch by Ashi Day, a one-act immersive chamber opera that places you, the audience, in the role of the accused witch, surrounded by interrogators, animal familiars, and a world where conspiracy, fear, religion, and authority collide. Featuring Caitlin McKechney Angela Born and Diana Stoic, Soprano

Built from the words of historical witchfinders alongside eerily familiar modern rhetoric, Waking the Witch asks what happens when those in power have already decided what they believe.

The Den Theatre and comedy club is pleased to host Waking The Witch on September 25-27, 2026 at 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood.

Tickets are currently available at thedentheatre.com or by calling (773) 697-3830.
