BUCHANAN — A supernatural comedy credited by some for inspiring the popular television show, “Bewitched,” is coming to the Tin Shop Theatre in Buchanan.

“Bell, Book and Candle,” written by John Van Druten and directed by Kris Behr and Daniel Santos, opens today at the historic Buchanan community theater, which is located at corner of Days Avenue and Oak Street.

Show times are 7:30 p.m. today and Friday and 4 p.m. Sunday. There will be three more performances next week at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 31, and at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1.

The magical romantic comedy is set in 1950s New York and revolves around the story of a witch named Gillian Holroyd (played by Sarah Simmons), who puts a spell on an attractive neighbor named Shepherd Henderson (played by Steve Determan).

“She kind of wants to meet him, but he doesn’t even notice her because he is engaged,” said director Behr. “A bit of hocus pocus goes on and Gillian finds herself falling in love. However, a witch can’t fall in love without certain consequences.”

The five member cast also features local actors Kelly Carlin, as the flamboyant Aunt Queenie; Jordan York, as the egocentric brother Nicky; and Tobin Clark as the well-known author, Seymour Redlitch.

Behr said the show is not appropriate for young children, but will be enjoyed by adults and older teens.

“It will be a fun Halloween play, but it has more mature themes,” said Behr, who is making her directorial debut.

“This is my maiden voyage.”

Cost is $9 for seniors and students, $10 for adults and $8 for people in a group of 10 or more.
