“2:22 – A Ghost Story” asks, what do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?
The U.S. premiere of "2:22 - A Ghost Story" opens tonight, November 4, 2022, playing at Center Theatre Group / Ahmanson Theatre. In this four-person play, Jenny (Constance Wu) believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam (Finn Wittrock) isn't having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, their old friend Lauren (Anna Camp) and her new partner Ben (Adam Rothenberg). Belief and skepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they are going to stay up until 2:22 a.m... and then they will know. Intriguing, funny, and scary, it takes audiences into one adrenaline-fueled night where secrets will emerge and ghosts may or may not appear. "2:22 - A Ghost Story" asks, what do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?
