Roles available for Witch
Elizabeth Sawyer (f) – An outcast. Intriguing and confident. Knows more than she says.
Scratch (m) – The devil. Cunning, and perhaps facing much more than he expected.
Sir Arthur Banks (m) – A older, powerful man with two sons rivaling for his love—and wealth.
Cuddy Banks (m) – Arthur’s biological son who is secretly in love with Frank (who he also hates). Accomplished Morris dancer.
Frank Thorney (m) – Ambitious, charming, and ruthless in going after what he wants. Arthur’s adopted son (and no fan of Cuddy).
Winnifred (f) – Sir Arthur’s long-suffering servant, resigned and pragmatic. She is secretly married to Frank and friends with Cuddy.

Witch is a darkly humorous play about the dangerous distance between our desires and their costs. When the devilish Scratch comes to a semi-rural small town looking to deal for souls, Elizabeth, the so-called “witch” at the outskirts of town, is a rare holdout. While Scratch finds himself increasingly taken by Elizabeth’s enchanting defiance, a love triangle and heated rivalry collide in Arthur’s court.
