The Woman in Black
by Stephen Mallatratt
Directed by Mick Alderman
July 29th & 30th at 6:00pm

Director Mick Alderman is seeking three actors for this chilling production, set to open September 27th.

Synopsis:
The framework of this spine tingler is unusual: a lawyer hires an actor to tutor him in recounting to family and friends a story that has long troubled him concerning events that transpired when he attended the funeral of an elderly recluse. There he caught sight of the woman in black, the mere mention of whom terrifies the locals, for she is a specter who haunts the neighborhood where her illegitimate child was accidentally killed. Anyone who sees her dies! The lawyer has invited some friends to watch as he and the actor recreate the events of that dark and stormy night. A classic of the genre.

Available roles:
The Actor - Male, aged 30+; A lawyer who has hired someone to help coach him in telling this frightening story.

Kipps - Male, aged 30+: A stage actor who is doing the coaching.

The Woman - Described as tall, thin, and having a pale and sickly appearance.
