CAST & CREW
Madam Strange
Owner & Head Witch of Strange Scene, Director of the Tarot Stage, Set & Prop Designer
Maggie Sasso, aka Madam Strange is a Milwaukee-based artist whose practice blends theater, mysticism, ancestry, and heirloom craft.
Raised on the stage, she grew up in the world of performance, learning early that every gesture, every pause, every object can hold meaning. That theatrical sensibility threads through her tarot practice today: each reading is a performance for the soul, where symbolism and story come alive.
Her artistry extends beyond the cards. Working with leather, fibers, wood, and metal, she crafts heirloom-quality metaphysical goods that feel like artifacts from another world, objects meant to be cherished, not consumed. Every piece is infused with ritual, wit, and a touch of the Strange.
Madam Strange is also an ancestral witch, honoring and researching her German, Irish, and Italian roots, while carrying the threads of her lineage tied to the Appalachian Mountains through her mother and the Rust Belt through her father. Her work is both personal and historical, weaving family memory and cultural inheritance into ritual practice and artistic creation.
Odd
Main Stage Hand, Bamboo Enthusiast, Maker & Purveyor of Fine Ideas
Odd, aka Ben Jones, has been known to build a boat out of found wood and cultural reverence, pick a vibrant color pallet, and make complicated objects. He used to be known as a Mechanical Engineer, but these days he’s making oddities, large and small, for Strange Scene.
Suna Zol
Social Media Producer, Jack of All Trades, Assistant to the Regional Manager
Hey Strangers! I’m Suna Zol, a 21-year-old artist who moved from the Chicago suburbs to Milwaukee to try and make art my full-time thing. I grew up super Christian, but I found my own path and ended up connecting way more with the craft. Now I’m in a tiny coven with my roommates, and it’s been so enlightening. I’m so excited for the opportunity to not only grow as a witch, but meet the community waiting here for us in Bayview.
