The story: The Ghost of David Belasco is a farce in the vein of Noises Off and The Play That Goes Wrong. Set in a haunted theatre in 1935, a group of interesting characters hires a renowned Russian medium to try and lay the ghost’s angry spirit to rest so the theatre can be safely reopened. They successfully make contact with the long-dead theatre impresario David Belasco, but from there, things go hilariously astray, including freak lightning storms, murder, and mayhem. Will this historic theatre be exorcised? Will the actual audience escape with their lives and sanity intact? We shall see.
The cast features Kelsey Glasser, Todd Hermanson, Lisa Knox, Mark Schwahn, Lucy Paschall, Melissa Standley, Margo Schembre, Matthew Sunderland, and Tom Walton.
