Event

It Walks at Midnight

A darkened stage, the clanking of unseen swords, a clock chiming midnight and the ghost walked! Our story begins when Andy and Sharon Fuller (Travis McCoy & Maya Orenic), unable to afford a honeymoon at Niagara Falls, arrive at "Deep Shadows" to spend their first two weeks of wedded bliss. An isolated country mansion, "Deep Shadows" had been in the Fuller family for generations and was loaned to the newlyweds by Andy's Aunt Louise. What she did know was that the local real estate agent had leased the house to Elinor Martindale (Lisa Aleshire), who turns out to be a most ungracious hostess. The newlyweds prevail upon her to stay until morning, when they can seek other lodgings but soon wish they hadn't. For living at "Deep Shadows" with Ms. Martindale were some very unusual characters indeed! There was Jocko, the ape-boy (Rudi Cornish), Lucius Lovelace, a tramp who spouted Shakepeare (Chris Marston), the slighty unhinged Paulina (Rachel Foltz), and the mystery girl known as "Betty" (Rachel Aleshire). Throw in a missing heiress and crooked cop, and the "Deep Shadows" ghost, and you have a mad-cap mystery that is sure to provide an evening of never-flagging entertainment.

The Cast also features Lee Grinnan as Ms. Martindale's newphew, Gary, Alison Coltrane as Mrs. Wiggins, and Jacob Foltz as Cal Anderson. Sharing the role of Rita are Kira Newman (August 21 & 22) and Emilie Miranda (August 27-29).
