The Witch of Pungo

The Witch of Pungo

July 25 – August 17 | Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8:30pm and 9:30pm

Location: 26th Street Stage

FREE and open to the public

In 1706 the Commonwealth of Virginia convicted the first and only woman
in its history of the crime of witchcraft. Now, 300 years later, the story is
re-told twice nightly in chilling fashion on the 26th Street Stage. In this half-
hour mini-musical, the story of Grace Sherwood is resurrected with full
cast, sets, lighting, and a haunting original score. You’ll discover the real
story behind the witch hunt that mesmerized the early colonies in this
remarkable re-enactment, from the accusations to the dramatic conclusion
– her trial by water! You’ll discover that what happened in colonial
America centuries ago was far scarier than witchcraft.
