Be My Ghost

This Halloween Shade Tree Players are proud to present Be My Ghost as part of the Frances Leach High Prairie Arts and Science Complex?s "Haunting Arts and Spooktacular Science? event. This fun family frightfest, directed by Amanda Perry, promises to be a day of thrills and chills for all ages. In Be My Ghost, young George Travis, like Stephen King, writes horror fiction, but he has "writer's block" - hasn't had an idea in months! He travels to rural New Hampshire where his eccentric Aunt Julia has willed him Black Raven Inn, a gloomy summer hotel. Local villagers say the place is haunted by the dangerous spirit of Mercy Appleton. When George and his bride-to-be arrive on a dark and stormy night (what else?), all manner of terror occurs. High school students, detoured from a Halloween celebration, seek shelter. Rootin'-Tootin', an Egyptian mummy, is delivered for storage, a Hollywood agent drops in, two weird sisters collect roadkill so they can practice taxidermy. When the housekeeper, Mrs. Shrivel, is murdered, what had started out as fun ends up as a strange "whodunit" mystery!  Be My Ghost will be performed at The Frances Leach High Prairie Arts and Science Complex, located at 1810 Schafer St. in Bismarck, on Saturday, October 26th at 1pm and 3:30pm. Carnival style tickets can be purchased for $1.00 each for the ?Haunting Arts and Spooktacular Science? event and admission to Be My Ghost is 6 tickets per person. Tickets will be available at the door on the day of the event.  For more information please visit www.ShadeTreePlayers.com, email execdir@dakotastageltd.com, or call 701-258-4998.
