Play Selections:

“More Than A Ghost Story” by Tami Canaday of CO

Dana and Jam are staying at Dana’s remote cabin on a snowy night and decide to share ghost stories as they wait for friends to arrive. As they delve into their tales, including one about a real murder, it becomes clear that one of them is hiding a dark secret.  The secret draws real ghosts to the cabin, turning their night into a chilling encounter with the supernatural. 

Starring Aaron Hawkins, Jeff Monteith, Georgie Armstrong, and Ana De La Torre.  Directed by Dyani Duran.

“Wake Up Calls” by Gale Alexander of WY

Three generations of women, separated by miles, maintain connection through a daily ritual of morning phone calls. When a family crisis shifts the relational dynamics in their circle of three, they are awakened to see that time brings change to bodies, minds, roles and priorities. Even phone technologies upgrade, but the pure power of the human voice remains the lifeline we reach for in a crisis.

Starring Sage Wilson, Samantha Hubbs, and Directed by Macey Mott.

“A Lone Ranch in the Middle Of Nowhere” by Georgie Armstrong of WY

A young family navigating life on a rugged, rural ranch in Idaho.

Starring Ian Chapman and Kally Miller.  Directed by Elise Baker Mumford.
