In their quiet afterlife, Bane and Corse play checkers, write songs, and get one occasional thrill: spooking the kids who wander into their house. And as luck would have it, tonight some little live things DO slink in. Gray and a group of pals hope to gain bragging rights by spending the whole night in this, the hauntedest of all haunted houses. Meanwhile Gray's older sibling Royal brings friends to try and scare Gray's group out of their wits. But they soon find out Bane and Corse have that covered! Surprises are everywhere in this silly, spooky play written especially for online performance.
Rachel Bublitz is a playwright known for telling stories about women, and creating exciting new work for young performers. The Z Space premiere of her play “Ripped” received the Will Glickman Award for the best premiere play in the Bay Area. She’s thrilled to return to PlayGround to develop “Funny, Like An Abortion.” Other plays include “Burst” (developed at Salt Lake Acting Company, PlayGround, and more), and “The Night Witches” (published with Dramatic Publishing). During the pandemic Rachel tried her hand at a novel, which she’s still developing. Turns out novels have a lot more words than plays.
