Throw into the mix a young Mormon Bishop and a real-life Reptile Woman and you have a night of "new age lunacy and magic". Will the "Space People" return for Faye?

Sugar Witch, The

Sugar Witch, The
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 Charlie and "Sisser" in grave danger as "Annabelle", the last in a long-line of so-called "Sugar Witches", attempts to end the curse placed upon their heads by the dying words of her very own mother. Dark family secrets are revealed and unusual passions are ignited as the family confronts both madness and truth as the spirits of the dead walk the dark swamp and hearts of all who reside there. "the Sugar Witch" is a dark, Southern Gothic play that will linger long after the curtain falls.
