The Sugar Witch mashes-up myth, Southern Gothic, and same-sex romance. Annabelle, the protagonist witch's magic power is storytelling. With it, she both protects and limits the Beans, the last heirs to a Florida sugarcane dynasty. When a bloody confrontation occurs, everyone is forced to create a new legend — and to uncover the truth. Kendra Owens stands out as the title character, a kind of inverse Medea, prepared to sacrifice herself to preserve her charges. Life, it turns out, is a far greater punishment than death.

New Theatre Conservatory Center says:

A Florida family confronts madness, truth, and the destructive legacy of racism as the spirits of the dead walk the dark swamp, haunting the hearts of all who reside there. Dark family secrets are revealed, and unusual passions are ignited.
