  • 1.  "Ghost in the Graveyard" - free musical for middle and high schools

    Posted 08-04-2023 10:41

    Hi!
      My name is Steve Flowers, I am a middle school music teacher in Illinois. I recently wrote a musical, Ghost in the Graveyard, that I performed with my middle school students. Since our production, I've also had three other local community theaters perform it, with casts ranging from ages 12-16. If you are looking for a fun, large cast musical (33 speaking parts) with a majority of teen characters, I would love to see it performed again by some more middle schools and high schools! This musical is copyrighted by me, but is not published, and I am not looking to make any money. I would gladly let you have all of the materials for free if you were interested in using it for a production.

      The running time is one hour, and there are 11 original songs in the styles of pop, rock, salsa, hip-hop and even a polka, with a lot of great choreography opportunities. This musical mystery-comedy works well any time of the year, but especially in the fall with the Ghost/Cemetery/Halloween theme. Teens get to play teens, as well as zombies, and they really enjoy doing both.
     
    Here is a short medley of 6 songs from the musical:

    SYNOPSIS: Have you ever played the game Ghost in the Graveyard? Would you ever play it in a real graveyardRoxanne always wants to prove to her classmates that she is fearless, but when she and her friends take a dare to play Ghost in the Graveyard in an abandoned cemetery, Roxanne gets separated from the group and becomes lost. Alone and afraid, she meets a boy named Samuel, who turns out to be a real ghostin a graveyard. The two are soon captured by Ganamor, the evil ghost queen, and her army of zombies. Roxanne narrowly escapes and makes it home safely, but the next day feels tremendous guilt for leaving Samuel. Roxanne decides to sneak back into the cemetery, this time helped by her family and friends, to try and free Samuel from Ganamor's evil reign.

      If you would like to read the script and hear the full versions of all of the songs, please either reply to this post with your email address or email me directly at sflowers726@gmail.com and I will share them with you.

    Thanks!

    Thank you Douglas, I'm glad you liked the medley! I'm really proud of this musical, especially the songs. I've received many email requests to share it, and a few schools have already said they would like to use it for a production, which is awesome. If you'd like to read the script and hear all of the music, please let me know!

    Thanks,
