Featuring: Maryn Shaw, Reece Santos, Forest Malley, Anita Castillo-Halvorssen, Avalon Christie, and Julie Lim

EAST VILLAGE ORACLES (AND THE WEST VILLAGE MALEFIC) is a comedy that follows two rival psychics in the East Village as they compete against each other to become the premiere East Village Oracle. But when an infamous Tik Tok psychic moves in on their territory and teams up with The West Village Malefic to place a curse on all of Manhattan (south of 14th Street), the psychics must decide whether to ban together to break the curse, or let all of downtown Manhattan fall into chaotic misfortune. A story about falling out of love, falling out of friendship, and the shared curse of being a millennial in New York City, EAST VILLAGE ORACLES (AND THE WEST VILLAGE MALEFIC) was conceived in a July fever-dream and has never been presented in front of an audience.
