Just in time for Halloween 2025, East West Players brings you the world premiere of Prince Gomolvilas' thrilling new work PARANORMAL INSIDE. This haunting sequel to THE BROTHERS PARANORMAL, which made its acclaimed Los Angeles premiere at EWP in 2022, dives back into the mysterious world of Max and Delia — two souls brought together by tragic loss and mutual compassion. As they grapple with the depths of intergenerational trauma and ancestral influence on their lives, a malevolent spirit threatens to consume them. Will they survive the night, or will they succumb to the spiritual possession that lurks within?
PARANORMAL INSIDE was co-commissioned in 2022 by East West Players, Perseverance Theatre, and Theater Mu.
MAX (30s, Male, Asian/Thai American, U.S.-born): A suburban everyman with a haunted past — literally. Max used to be a paranormal investigator, but now he’s trying to live the American dream: house, wife, kid on the way… until sleepwalking turns into throat-grabbing and full-on body-snatching. Charming and funny when conscious, terrifying and unhinged when he’s not.
BINCY (30s, Female, Asian/Thai American, born in Thailand, immigrated at 10; speaks with a slight Thai accent): Pregnant, paranoid, and probably right. Bincy is high-strung in the best way — hyper-vigilant, sharp-witted, and fueled by true-crime podcasts and prenatal anxiety. She's the heart of the story with a spine of steel, and she's not afraid to call BS even while packing a hospital bag.
DELIA (ROLE IS CAST,
ETHAN (20s, Male, White, American-born): Catholic guilt, grad-school earnestness, and a deep love for a woman who's way out of his league. Ethan is awkward, oblivious, and unexpectedly bold — especially when zip-tied to a chair. Think boy-next-door meets “why are you like this?”
SOMBOON (60s, Male, Asian/Thai American, born in Thailand, immigrated at 29; speaks with a Thai accent): A no-nonsense Thai dad with old-world beliefs and a very short fuse. He’s blunt, spiritual, and deeply suspicious of his son-in-law. Speaks Thai, believes in spirits, and is ready to throw down with anyone who threatens his daughter — or who can't speak the language properly.
TASHA (20s, Female, Black, American-born): Smart, spiritual, and way more rebellious than her “med school” cover story suggests. Tasha’s juggling a white fiancé, and some deep family fractures. She’s fierce, funny, and trying to hold it all together while her past, present, and future crash into each other.
