Bad Witch Polish BAD WITCH Written by Jonathan Hopkins Original Artists 2801 Hyperion Ave, Studio 104 Los Angeles, CA 90027 Ph: 310-275-6765 Fax: 310-275-6725 Management: Jodi Mitchell Ph: 805-886-5277 TEASER OVER BLACK: The opening riff of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck.” FADE IN: EXT. CAROLINA COAST - VARIOUS Hurricane preparations. Sandbags. Windows boarded up with plywood. “Closed” signs everywhere but Waffle House. A line of traffic out of town. The Outer Banks are deserted. BLAIR (V.O.) During the Gulf War, the American military strapped loudspeakers to their Blackhawks. As they flew into battle, they played AC/DC. Before long, enemy combatants knew that if they ever heard “Thunderstruck” playing in the distance, they were about to die. The beach is empty. It’s pouring. The surf is voracious. A lone girl walks across the sand: BLAIR CRITCHER (22, rock- climbing jacked). Clad in dirty sweatpants, a tank top, and earbuds, she fights through the wind to the water. She’s listening to AC/DC. As the hurricane approaches, Blair stands knee-deep in the churning ocean waves, closes her eyes, and raises her arms. She smiles. Suddenly, LIGHTNING STRIKES BLAIR repeatedly, electrifying her with the energy of the overwhelming storm. SMASH TO BLACK. bad witch 2. ACT 1 INT. CROCKETT HIGH SCHOOL GYM - DAY The modern megachurch is a cathedral built in the style of a basketball stadium that’s been outfitted for a concert. However, because the town of Crockett, North Carolina is small, this particular service is in a high school gym. The lights dim. The crowd hushes. A promo video plays on a giant screen: prayer groups, college baptisms, women crying. The true Megachurch experience. Text: ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE? OWEN (O.S.) Within you is the power of God. On screen, the footage fades into a superhero visage of a young preacher standing before a crowd of ten thousand. INT. CROCKETT HIGH SCHOOL GYM - LOCKER ROOM - DAY OWEN MAYFIELD, the babyfaced 26-year-old pastor in question, fidgets on a stool as his wife CHRISSY MAYFIELD (25, blond, irritated) goes at his jacket with a lint roller. CHRISSY Do not use the wheelchair kid, he’s a huge liability. OWEN The “wheelchair kid” is named Jimmy, and Jimmy’s a hero. INTRODUCER (O.S.) (over the mic) It is my pleasure to introduce to you the world-renowned preacher and bestselling author Owen Mayfield! CHRISSY Front row is two cancers and an arthritis. Don’t be stupid. Chrissy kisses Owen before he exits to the stage. 3. INT. CROCKETT HIGH SCHOOL GYM - DAY Owen stands at the podium. Title on screen: “FAITH IN ACTION” OWEN This story’s about an addict. Newly homeless. Twenty-one years old. Just a kid. But his life would be saved - because of a cheeseburger. (laughter) Hear me out. This one day, he’s begging a college girl for money to buy food. Acting on faith, she buys him a burger - and invites him to church. He goes. He develops a cough. She pays for the doctor. Owen steps down from the podium. Paces in front of the crowd. OWEN (CONT'D) That cough winds up being a tumor. Cancer. Stage 4. Death sentence. But somehow, he survives. Still, if he hadn’t seen a doctor that week - (beat) If not for a Christian and a cheeseburger, he wouldn’t be here today. But he is. Now tell me how that’s not a miracle. CROWD Amen! OWEN That girl believed in the power of God and so do I. Want to know why? Owen rips open his shirt and points to a scar on his chest. OWEN (CONT'D) Because I am that kid. Wild applause. OWEN (CONT'D) I married her, by the way. He looks over the crowd, eying the front-row cancer patients - then his gaze shifts to the back of the gym. OWEN (CONT'D) I believe the power of God is in this building right now. And I believe there’s a little boy - 4. CHRISSY (O.S.) (whispered from backstage) Owen! OWEN Jimmy Richardson, if you’d please come forward and join me for a little faith healing this morning. The crowd ERUPTS. “Faith healing” is what they came to see. JIMMY RICHARDSON, an excited six-year-old in a wheelchair (muscular dystrophy or similar) is wheeled forward by his father DALE (30s; balding) and his mother VERONICA (20s). OWEN (CONT'D) How are you today, Jimmy? Jimmy opens his mouth, but no words come out. Dale leans over to Owen. Owen mutes his headset mic. DALE (whispered to Owen) He stopped talking last month. I don’t know what you can - Owen puts a hand on Dale’s shoulder. OWEN Let’s just let God take over the worrying for now, OK? Owen turns his mic back on. OWEN (CONT'D) Now I’d like everyone who’s able to stand and come forward, please, let’s join Jimmy up here. The crowd surrounds Jimmy, his family, and Owen on stage. The church band assembles behind the group. The lights dim. OWEN (CONT'D) Let’s all put our hands on Jimmy as we go to God in prayer. Hold hands with each other. Dear Lord - The band, ever the soft hypeman, reacts to Owen in real time. OWEN (CONT'D) Dear Lord, we come before you today to witness your power. Work through us, Lord, to lift up Jimmy! 5. The crowd, moving in on Jimmy, starts to sway. Hands are raised to the ceiling. Chrissy runs out from backstage. JIMMY Up! The crowd stops. Veronica gasps. Dale leans over his son. DALE Buddy, did you say something? JIMMY Up, Daddy! Jimmy tries to raise his arms. Pick me up! WOMAN IN CROWD It’s a miracle! The silence dissipates as the crowd whispers fervently. Everyone reaches for their phones to record the moment. OWEN Raise the wheelchair. Raise him to the Lord! Owen, Dale, and the converging crowd start to LIFT JIMMY’S WHEELCHAIR ABOVE THEIR HEADS. OWEN (CONT'D) Jesus, show us your healing power! Suddenly, Owen loses touch of Jimmy’s wheelchair - Jimmy’s being carried atop the crowd like a crowdsurfing rock star. Chrissy hurriedly pushes through the crowd towards Jimmy. CHRISSY Put him down! But Chrissy’s shoving disrupts the crowd supporting Jimmy. JIMMY FALLS FROM HIS WHEELCHAIR. There’s a sickening crunch. The crowd recoils in shock as Jimmy’s parents push through to their son, who’s crushed by his chair against the floor. INT. DAVY CROCKETT RESTAURANT - DAY A buffet of fried chicken, cornbread, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and sweet tea on a Lazy Susan. Owen and Chrissy sit and eat with LARRY and NANCY REYNOLDS (60s, church elders). 6. NANCY It’s a miracle he’s stable. OWEN All part of God’s plan. A terse silence. Chrissy holds on to her artificial smile. LARRY Lotta people pretty excited y’all came to town. One of our members been calling for you every day this week. Claims he’s been hexed. NANCY Now, Larry. CHRISSY Really? My goodness. LARRY Well, it ain’t so far-fetched as you might think. You know about them Wiccans? CHRISSY Well, now you have to tell us. NANCY They killed Marcie Ableton’s boy, that poor woman. LARRY There’s no proof of that. NANCY Did y’all meet Marcie? Sits up front, with the hat? She’ll tell you. Oh, she’d be just thrilled if you came to visit, it’ll give her somebody to cook for. LARRY That woman ain’t cooked in years. NANCY It’s a nice idea. CHRISSY We’re just happy to be here. CUT TO: 7. INT. HOTEL SUITE - NIGHT This is the nicest hotel room Crockett, NC has to offer. Owen, in boxers, knocks on the bathroom door as he scrolls through a news article on his phone: Megachurch Preacher: Faith or Fraud? OWEN I have to pee. Chrissy opens up. Her “charming housewife” veneer is gone. OWEN (CONT'D) Pam Ivy’s back at it. Chrissy, also on her phone, passes Owen without looking up. OWEN (CONT'D) Let’s not do this again. Chrissy continues to text as Owen follows her. OWEN (CONT'D) Please just get off the phone and come to bed with me. CHRISSY I thought you had to pee. Owen reaches for her phone. Chrissy holds it away. OWEN Who are you talking to? CHRISSY Lance needs me. He cheated on his fiancée again. Chrissy’s phone rings. She makes a beeline for the bedroom. CHRISSY (CONT'D) (on the phone) Hey, sweetie, talk to me. Chrissy shuts the bedroom door. The lock clicks. INT. CHRISTIAN BOOKSTORE - DAY Owen and Chrissy stand by a booth advertising Owen’s book, Faith in Action. If Chrissy’s pissed, there’s no hint of it. 8. CHRISSY The program’s called “Faith in Action.” Owen and I came up with it together when I was in college. It’s essentially about sharing your faith with real people. Forming connections outside your comfort zone. Being accountable for each other. You can think of it kind of like AA for sinners. MAN AT BOOKSTORE Isn’t that basically just church? Chrissy hands the man a book. She grabs her purse. CHRISSY You’re here from now until one, then you need to head over to the Wal-Mart where you’ll be from two until eight. OWEN Where are you going? CHRISSY (still smiling) Don’t skip Wal-Mart or someone’s going to be very upset with you.

  • Constructing the Witch in Contemporary American Popular Culture
    "SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES": CONSTRUCTING THE WITCH IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Catherine Armetta Shufelt A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2007 Committee: Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor Dr. Andrew M. Schocket Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Donald McQuarie Dr. Esther Clinton © 2007 Catherine A. Shufelt All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor What is a Witch? Traditional mainstream media images of Witches tell us they are evil “devil worshipping baby killers,” green-skinned hags who fly on brooms, or flaky tree huggers who dance naked in the woods. A variety of mainstream media has worked to support these notions as well as develop new ones. Contemporary American popular culture shows us images of Witches on television shows and in films vanquishing demons, traveling back and forth in time and from one reality to another, speaking with dead relatives, and attending private schools, among other things. None of these mainstream images acknowledge the very real beliefs and traditions of modern Witches and Pagans, or speak to the depth and variety of social, cultural, political, and environmental work being undertaken by Pagan and Wiccan groups and individuals around the world. Utilizing social construction theory, this study examines the “historical process” of the construction of stereotypes surrounding Witches in mainstream American society as well as how groups and individuals who call themselves Pagan and/or Wiccan have utilized the only media technology available to them, the internet, to resist and re- construct these images in order to present more positive images of themselves as well as build community between and among Pagans and nonPagans.

    Albums of the Year 2018 : The Top 25 Ged Babey 9 December, 2018 As voted for by 30 of our writers, here are the Top 25 Albums of 2018. The Number One received more than twice the votes as the second place. The next ten were hotly contested with the narrowest of margins, and the rest got the same number of votes -so are in random order to be frank. But… Every one is a winner! 2018 was a great year for music and the Number 1 is no surprise… ONE IDLES Joy As An Act of Resistance (Partisan) Punk Rock reinvented and not wearing a mask of masculinity or yoke of tradition, but a wicked smile and its broken heart exposed but still beating in its chest. Punk rock which instead of calling for Anarchy and saying I Don’t Care is shouting UNITY! and LOVE IS ALL. Reviewed here by Ged Babey IDLES - DANNY NEDELKO TWO The Blinders Columbia (Modern Sky) This power trio, this band of very modern troubadours, this enlightened youth, deliver an album so explosive, so perfect, it defies any attempt at categorisation. There are odd time signatures, indefinite song structures but the tracks ebb and flow beautifully. Columbia as an album is a single piece of art as a concept. Listen, track by track, join up the dots, get the message loud and clear – England is indeed dreaming. Reviewed here by Nigel Carr The Blinders - L’etat C’est Moi [Music Video] THREE ILL : We Are ILL (Box Records) All-woman five-piece… currently based in Manchester, who highlight that quality music does not have to mean an emulation of that which has gone before.

Contact Information: Email: [email protected] Address: Dusni 1/928, Prague 11000, Czech Republic Cell phone: 011 (420) 739.078.229 Skype: brendazejdl The Devil’s Mistress 2 THE DEVIL’S MISTRESS SYNOPSIS: This play is inspired by actual incidents from 1620. Acts I and III are set in a prison in Leonberg, Germany and Act II takes place in the Prague castle. KATHARINA is the mother of the King’s Chief Mathematician, JOHANNES KEPLER. She is imprisoned in a dungeon and pressured to confess to witchcraft; first by treachery and then by intimidation through being shown torture instruments used on another woman while her son debates the validity of witchcraft trials with JEAN BODIN, the leading demonologist of that time, (in reality Bodin died in 1596, over 20 years before and never met Kepler). The result of this debate will determine her fate: freedom, torture or execution. This is an expose filled with the political intrigues and corruption that existed during these witch trials. CAST OF CHARACTERS: [7-8 actors needed if 2 can double, 2 women & 6 men] KATHARINA KEPLER: [60+ yrs old] Johanne Kepler’s mother, an herbalist unjustly jailed for witchcraft. Pious, and disliked by people in her village for meddling and insolence. JOHANNES KEPLER: [40-50yrs old]- Kepler was a slight man with a goatee, wears a dark suit with a starched ruff collar; he was slightly stooped from bending over his calculations and he squinted from bad eyesight.

    2020 Vol. 1, N 2 Special Issue: Soundscapes, Sonic Cultures, and American Studies Vol. 1, No. 2 | 2020 About The Journal of the Austrian Association for American Studies (JAAAS) is a peer- reviewed gold open-access journal which provides an interdisciplinary space for discussions about all aspects of American studies. The journal functions as a forum for Americanists in Austria and the global academic community. Published twice a year, the journal welcomes submissions on a wide range of topics, aiming to broaden the multi- and interdisciplinary study of American cultures. Aims Interrogating the notion of “America” and looking at the U.S. within its transnational and (trans-)hemispheric interconnections, JAAAS seeks to challenge disciplinary boundaries by bringing together original and innovative work by scholars who focus on topics as diverse as literature, cultural studies, film and new media, visual arts, ethnic studies, indigenous studies, performance studies, queer studies, border studies, mobility studies, age studies, game studies, and animal studies. Apart from offering insights into trans- and international American literary and cultural studies and offering European perspectives on America, the journal also solicits scholarship that deals with history, music, politics, geography, ecocriticism, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, law, and any other aspect of American culture and society.
