All African American cast in Black Bewitched at Missie B’s in Kansas City
(Kansas City, MO) Oh, my stars! What happens when you take a classic supernatural-themed sitcom of the 1960s–1970s about witches, and combine it with an All African American Cast and the sounds of Motown Funk?
You get Black Bewitched.
"Well, okay, the husband, Darrin, he's in advertising, and they have this cute little daughter named Tabitha. But the wife, I don't know, something's wrong with her. I think she's a witch."
Endora, tired of the cookie cutter life her daughter has chosen, decides to shake things up…with a spell! Endora’s “spell” converts the black and white series into full 1970’s Psychedelic Color!
Starring Ryan Webster (aka Moltyn Decadence) as Samantha, Kory Burch (aka Regina LaRae) as Darrin and Ray Fry (aka Widow Von du) as Endora. Other cast members taking the “wild ride into funk” include Christopher Barksdale (aka Christa Collins) as Uncle Arthur, Stephonne Singleton (aka Kita Rose) as Aunt Clara, Serena (Samantha’s twin cousin) and Gladys Kravitz!
