The Sugar Witch
Auditions: September 9 and 10, 2024
Production: October 25 – November 3, 2024
Directed by Doug Lloyd
Synopsis: The Bean Family, in Sugar Bean, Florida live under an ancient family curse. The surviving members of the town’s founding family have reached the end of their rope. Just when things can’t possibly get any worse, tragedy strikes as a mysterious and brutal murder takes place in the Bean family home. The crime places “Moses” and “Sisser” in grave danger as “Annabelle”, the last in a long line of so called “Sugar Witches”, attempts to end the curse placed on their heads by the dying words of her very own grandmother.
Dark family secrets are revealed and unusual passions ignited as the family confronts madness, truth and the destructive legacy of racism as the spirits of the dead walk the swamp, haunting the hearts of all who reside there. THE SUGAR WITCH is a dark, Southern Gothic play that is perfect for the Halloween season.
