Special Note and "Meet & Greet": We are honored to have Musician and Film Actor Alicia Witt grace The Packing House stage this season! Her career as a TV/Film Actor and musical Performer spans nearly 4 decades. My recollection of first seeing Alicia in film was her portrayal of the high school clarinetist (Gertrude) in “Mr. Holland’s Opus”. This is a very special evening, and as such, we are offering an additional Ticket for a Special “Meet & Greet” session for a private session with Alicia from 5:30pm to 6:30pm - prior to doors opening to the public.
Actor and singer-songwriter Alicia Witt has been acting since the age of 7, making her film debut in David Lynch's sci-fi classic Dune. She just finished filming the thriller Longlegs, opposite Nicholas Cage, set for a worldwide theatrical release in 2024.
Her TV appearances include: The Walking Dead; Justified; ABC's Nashville; Fox's The Exorcist; Law & Order: Criminal Intent; and Showtime's Twin Peaks; and more. Films include Two Weeks’ Notice, Last Holiday, The Upside of Anger, Mr. Holland’s Opus, Urban Legend, Four Rooms, 88 Minutes, and Vanilla Sky. Alicia is also a familiar face to Christmas audiences for her 10 holiday movies, many of which have featured her original music.
Witt spent 5 weeks in the Billboard Top 30 AC Radio chart with her single Chasing Shadows, off her 2021 album The Conduit, which she co-produced. Her newest release is 2023’s Witness, led by the title track, which will debuted April. A classically trained former competitive pianist, Alicia's music has been described as 'sharply personal, boldly melodic pop originals in the Carole King/Billy Joel vein' and ‘touching lost-and-found love ballads' (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Alicia has performed her original piano-driven indie pop music all over the world, including at the renowned Grand Ole Opry. As a musical guest, Alicia has appeared on numerous shows including NPR’s Weekend Edition, CBS' Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Queen Latifah Show, WGBH’S Open Studio on PBS, Good Day Nashville, KTLA’s Morning Show, Good Morning Washington, and many performances on Hallmark’s Home & Family Show.
Join us for this special evening with Alicia Witt! This program is hosted by the "Eastern Connecticut Center for History, Art, and Performance" (EC-CHAP).
