From May 1-10, 2026, Berks County audiences will be able to see the first full production of “Banshee” by Wyomissing playwright Adam Richter at the WCR Center for the Arts, 140 N. Fifth St. in Reading.

“Banshee” is directed by Jody Reppert and stage-managed by Sean Sassaman. The play features original music by Marty Bonk and choreography by Jessica Warchal-King of JCWK Dance Lab.

Inspired by the author’s lifelong interest in Irish history and folklore, “Banshee” tells the story of Nancy Donough, a farmer in 18th-century Ireland who dreams of greatness. Instead, she is haunted by the call of a supernatural spirit that echoes through the generations, and a vision that could have deadly consequences.
