Fresh from its second consecutive Helen Hayes Awards Recommended production, the horror and suspense theatre company Molotov Theatre Group is bringing "The Margins" by David Skeele to the DC stage in April. The show runs Thursdays through Sundays, April 2-April 26 at 7:30 PM at the DC Arts Center, 2438 18th St, NW, Washington, DC 20009.

The ensemble cast comprises Adam R. Adkins, Jen Bevan, Yoni Gray, Kate Jeffries, Elliott Kashner and Brian McDermott.

Loosely based on the true story of The Philip Experiment in Toronto in the 1970s, five paranormal investigators and a skeptical reporter visit a haunted manor to create and raise a spirit as a psychic experiment - until that experiment goes horribly better than they imagined.
