Rehearsals are underway for "The Welkin," the next show from Phoenix Creative Collective. Starting October 16th, come and see the thirteen extraordinary women from across the Central Valley who are bringing this stunning play to life.

Rural Suffolk, 1759. As the country waits for Halley's Comet, Sally Poppy is sentenced to hang for a heinous murder. When she claims to be pregnant, a jury of twelve matrons are taken from their housework to decide whether she's telling the truth, or simply trying to escape the noose.

October 16 - 24 at The MAC in Merced.
