    “

    What a cliff hanger! Is Trish just a little zany or does she actually have magical powers? This is one of many fun questions posed and probed by this quirky short play. I love how few answers there are here. Vansant writes with great specificity, humor and heart.

    A bewitchingly dark comedy, "Kikimora" turns the tables on those who look askance at "cat people," and then turns them again – and then again. A wonderfully pointed satire from Vansant, with two terrific roles – and a cat.
