Peckin the crown

Written and Directed by Chris Fontanes
Presented by Bottle Alley Theatre & The VORTEX

Peckin the Crown is what happens when you combine witchcraft, puppetry, psychedelic drugs and infuse it with imagery from the dark fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood. A standalone work in Bottle Alley Theatre Company's Farm Road Coven storyline, Peckin the Crown revolves around one of the last remaining members of a coven of witches (Abigail Lucas) and her descent into multiple realities, guided by a manipulative demon named Peckin the Crown (Alison Talvacchio).
