Today's Real Housewives have TELEVISION to be famous. What did the OGs of Salem 1692 have? 

The Courthouse!

The Real Gossipers Of Salem

In Salem Village, four of the most vocal residents find themselves facing trial for witchcraft. These socialites must defend their cases, as only one will be granted mercy. Will their wealth, captivating stories, and social sway secure their survival? Or will they fade into oblivion, just like last week’s gossip?

 

Before Bravo TV introduced the world to the ‘Real Housewives’ franchises, we must remember that it all began with

THEE ORIGINAL FRANCHISE!!

FOUR Accused ‘Witches.’

FOUR Confessionals.

FOUR Storylines.

Only ONE Will Survive

MISTRESS COUGAR

((21+, any ethnicity) Accused Witch. In an era when it is frowned upon for women to hold wealth, she has stepped up as the breadwinner after her husband's death. The epitome of an entrepreneur, she runs the underground business “Thin Puritan.” If you need something, Mistress Cougar is your go-to! Always striving to earn a shilling or two, she is strong-willed, independent, and iconic.

GOODY
VAYNE

​(21+, any ethnicity) Accused Witch. In a time when music and dancing are considered sinful, she may have been discovered dancing naked in the woods with the devil... or perhaps not. Goody Vayne embodies a captivating mix of boldness, sexuality, and outspokenness, living in a fantastical world. A gay icon of her time, she has a passion for fashion, even though it’s deemed a sin.

FARMER GAY

(21+, any ethnicity) Accused Witch.  In a time when men perform all the hard labor, Farmer Gay would rather host friends for mead and gossip. Flamboyant and lively, although everyone suspects his homosexuality, it has never been openly discussed.

MERCY
BEDLY

Accused Witch. In a period when women could only read religious texts, she was found with a book titled, “Class with the French Countess.” An independent thinker, Mercy is calm and intuitive. Not one to fly off the handle. Tired and exhausted of the Salem Witch Trials.

JUDGE KOHEN

(21+, any ethnicity) The judge of this trial! Shady and provocative, Judge Kohen will say anything to provoke a reaction from the convicted witches. His personality is inspired by BravoTV’s host, Andy Cohen!

Fully ReCOOPERated is a ‘BRAND’ new and original musical that follows the journey of Cooper, as he sets off to a new city, with a new frame of mind.

There, he meets like-minded and creative individuals who find out they will be competing for a spot in London Fashion Week! As life for Cooper seems to be looking up, the past starts to crawl back in… Will his friends and revitalized passion for his art be enough to keep him moving forward? Or will he fall back into old habits and lose sight of what’s really important?
