A detective arrives in a small, isolated town with one question: what does the disappearance of a young heir to a yogurt empire have to do with a strange bit of local lore about an old witch? Valencia College Theater launches its first play of the fall season with the Florida premiere of “Yaga,” a modern twist on an old Slavic folk tale, which opens on Oct. 3 for seven performances. The story begins when a detective arrives in a small, isolated town with one question: What does the disappearance of a young heir to a yogurt empire have to do with a strange bit of local lore about an old witch? Partnered with a reluctant local sheriff, a university professor with a weakness for younger men, and an eccentric cast of townsfolk, the detective soon finds himself unraveling more than just a missing person’s case. As the investigation unfolds, the Slavic myth of Baba Yaga twists into a dark, tangled web of secret lives, ancient magic, and more suspects than answers. Reviewers have applauded playwright Kat Sandler’s take on this ancient legend. “Sandler has triumphantly reclaimed the evil-woman myth. Move over, ‘Wicked’ and ‘Maleficent,’ and welcome Yaga to the sisterhood,” said critic Martin Morrow of The (Toronto) Globe and Mail. Check out the latest entertainment news  from throughout Central Florida. The play opens on Friday, Oct. 3, with additional performances on Oct. 4, 6, 9, 10 and 11. A matinee performance will be held on Sunday, Oct. 5, at 2 pm. The play will be staged at Valencia’s Black Box Theater, on the college’s East Campus, located at 701 N. Econlockhatchee Trail, Orlando.  (Note: Yaga contains mature themes, strong language, and some dark or violent content that may not be suitable for younger audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. This play is rated for ages 16 and up.) Tickets are $15 for general admission; $10 for Valencia College staff, alumni and senior citizens; and $8 for current Valencia College students. Please note that a $2 processing fee will be applied to all credit card ticket purchases. Tickets can be purchased at: https://ticketpeak.co/valenciacollege/events Advance ticket purchase is strongly suggested. For more information, please call Valencia’s box office at 407-582-2900 or email boxoffice@valenciacollege.edu Before attending any of the events listed on Gotta Go Orlando, you should contact the organizer or venue to confirm that the event is taking place as information, changes, and cancellations can occur.
