Pre Show Cast: For this production we will have a preshow upstairs in the auditorium and the path towards the theatre. The upstairs auditorium will be transformed into the town’s “Society for Psychical Research” branch. We will need improvisational actors to act as mediums, ghosts, tea leaf readers, spirit board operators, tarot card readers among other roles.
These roles would have an abbreviated rehearsal period and these actors may also be understudies for the show’s cast.
