Hello,

  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 11-16. If you are looking for a fun, large cast musical with a majority of teen characters, I would love to see it performed again by some more 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. 

  I wrote 33 speaking roles, with many of them flexible that can be split/doubled to fit to your cast size. Here is a brief synopsis:

Have you ever played the game Ghost in the Graveyard? Would you ever play it in a real graveyard? Roxanne 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 ghost…in a graveyard. The two are soon captured by Ganamor, the evil ghost queen, and her zombie henchmen. 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.

  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!

  Please let me know if you are interested and I can send you a link to the script to read and also sample recordings of the songs.

Thanks!
Steve Flowers
