The Bermuda Musical Drama Society (BMDS) opened its latest production, the dark comedy *Witch*, last night at the historic City Hall Theatre. The two‑hour run featured a cast of local talent, with the lead role played by long‑time actor‑musician Sarah L. McDonald.

*Witch* follows the misadventures of a self‑confident sorceress who finds herself trapped in a small Bermudian town. Combining sharp wit, musical numbers, and a touch of supernatural intrigue, the story explores themes of community, identity, and the power of storytelling.

Director Lucien Thompson praised the production’s “bold blend of humor and heart,” noting that the creative team worked closely with regional musicians to infuse the score with traditional Bermudian rhythms. Costume and set designers drew inspiration from colonial architecture, giving the spectacle a distinctly local flavor.

Audience members praised the show’s clever dialogue and engaging score, with several reviewers highlighting the strong performances of the supporting cast. The BMDS has long been a pillar of Bermuda’s arts scene, and *Witch* marks a return to the stage after a brief hiatus due to the pandemic. The society plans to run the play through next month, offering a chance for residents and visitors alike to experience a fresh, home‑grown theatrical experience.
