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.
