  • 1.  Spooky short plays

    Posted 08-20-2020 14:06
    Hello all,
    So I have landed on an evening of spooky short plays for the fall. 
    I am looking at Tell-tale heart and The Monkey's Paw. 

    Does anyone have suggestions for a third piece?  I am at an all-girls school and the bigger the cast the better. 

    Thanks for the help!

    I second "Sorry Wrong Number" and suggest "Heat Lighting" by Robert F. Carroll - both are described in this link.  Sounds like a thrilling line up!
