Warning! May contain spoilers. GHOSTTOWN is an apropos tale that works as a touchstone for any age group - but feels especially pertinent for those of us in our early-mid adulthood. In an increasingly isolated and socially-strangled age, what happens when your story ends prematurely? What happens when you choose to do the safe thing, rather than the brave thing?

Lacey Buchanan beautifully navigates the emotional spectrum of a lost soul, bringing the audience with her on her path to salvation. Pleshinger’s writing vacillates from acerbic wit to transportive prose in a delicate and refined way, while still delivering the necessary elements of horror and a gutwrenching twist. Her direction mirrors this aesthetic, painting a stunning image with lights, effects and emotion, then drops us back to earth.... full review

Such an incredible show. To see another show deal with grief, memory, and the stories we choose to tell about the people we love (and ourselves in relation to them) is such a delight, and it's handled with care and precision.... full review
