About The Show:
Hollywood, Halloween night, 1954. A glamorous, eccentric group of actors gathers for a séance to contact a writer killed in a car crash. But as secrets surface, it’s clear his death wasn’t an accident—it was murder. Mystery, suspense, and Old Hollywood glamour collide in this thrilling new play with a ghostly twist.
