We’re excited to announce Walking Shadow’s 2026-2027 season! You can book individual show tickets by clicking on the performance dates below, or you can purchase Walking Shadow season tickets to secure your spot at all three of these amazing theatrical events:
Open
by Crystal Skillman
directed by Bryan Grosso & Amy Rummenie
performed by Allison Vincent
January 9 – 31, 2027 at the Hive Collaborative
Open unfolds like a live magic show, but what seems like an entertaining performance soon becomes a deep, heartfelt story about love, loss, and the power of belief. A single performer known only as “The Magician” invites the audience into her world of tricks and illusions, but behind every sleight of hand is a deeply human journey to save the woman she loves. Equal parts enchanting and emotional, Open uses the wonder of magic as a metaphor for hope, courage, and confronting life’s impossible moments.
“It’s an important time to tell this very real, human, magical, beautiful story of a relationship.” — Jill Schafer, Cherry and Spoon
