Film Synopsis

Three single women in a picturesque village have their wishes granted, at a cost, when a mysterious and flamboyant man arrives in their lives.

    Three small-town friends, Alexandra (Cher), Jane (Susan Sarandon) and Sukie (Michelle Pfeiffer), each having lost the man in their lives, are feeling unfulfilled—until a furtive stranger, Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson), arrives and begins courting each of them in turn. Eventually, Daryl tells them that they are witches. But as the three friends spend more time at his mansion, enjoying themselves and learning about their powers, they begin to worry about Daryl's ultimate intentions

    Eric Mead is a performing artist who defies categorization. As an onstage travel guide, he conducts interactive tours of the fantastic, where imagination is king, laughter erupts at every turn, and everything you know about the world is called into question.

Nina is also a founding member of Consensual Improv. She also holds several local honors; 2020 Wintersköl Queen, 2023 “Devy Ordinary” Award winner for Excellence in Customer Service and National Anthem singer for the FIS World Cup Races, Pro Cycling Tours and Aspen’s Annual 4th of July Parade celebration. She is thrilled to be a recognized leader in a community that supports her passions and allows her to grow as an actor, comedienne, singer, hiker, fly fisherwoman and skier!
