THE SUGAR WITCH
STUDIO 400 - MATURE THEMES AND LANGUAGE
Directed by Billy Buff // April 24 - May 3, 2026
Step into the haunting world of The Sugar Witch by Nathan Sanders—where Flannery O’Connor meets Marie Laveau in a Southern Gothic tale thick with secrets, spells, and suspense. Deep in Buster’s Swamp on the Watchalahoochee River outside Sugar Bean, Florida, this chilling story unearths the twisted legacy of the town’s founding family. Madness brews, murder simmers, and the past refuses to stay buried. With a blend of eerie magic and raw emotion, The Sugar Witch will leave you spellbound.
*This show is intended for a mature audience.
