Magic Circle Players: Misery
Fri Sep 4, 2026 - Sat Sep 19, 2026

A well-known gothic-romance writer survives a terrible car crash, only to be rescued by his self- appointed “number one fan.” What starts as care becomes control as his increasingly deranged captor demands a new ending to her favorite series. Trapped, injured, and cut off from the world, he must write to stay alive while searching for a way out. Tense, chilling, and unpredictable, Misery is a gripping thriller where devotion turns deadly. Directed by Michelle Terry, Assistant Director Dru Weaver. Tickets at magiccircleplayers.com. Magic Circle Players, 420 S 12th St, Montrose. Box office: 970-249-7838 or boxoffice@magiccircleplayers.com.
