"Do you believe in witches? I don’t mean the witches that wear silly black hats and cloaks, and ride on broomsticks. But this is not a fairy tale.” Such begins the amazing book, The Witches, by Roald Dahl, which will be brought to the stage by a cast and crew of nearly one hundred Edison Intermediate School students, November 3rd through November 5th.
