About the Project
For the second straight year, J-P Theatre Productions brings you a tribute to Night Gallery, the cult classic from Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling. This time we have new sci-fi/horror stories.
Birds of a Feather – This reboot from last year is a This Is Us-style tale about three siblings – a biological brother and sister and their adopted brother who was their mom’s favorite. Except he’s also an extraterrestrial.
The Lateness of the Hours – As a teenager, Bart was “Big Brother” to a little boy named Pete, who consequently went on to a wonderful life, including an upcoming wedding. Bart life’s has been a different story, though. A cryptic request for a Christmas Eve meeting at a diner brings a lot of feelings to the surface.
The Fight or Flight Response – Mentally handicapped Grant gets emotionally abused constantly by his ruthless boss, Terrence, despite Grant’s late father having founded the company. When a sweetheart named Anna becomes his coworker, she becomes determined to help Grant…but things take a dark turn.
Some material in A Haunting Revue II is inspired by work at Impro Theatre School in the Wednesday Night Genre Class when it taught improvising in the style of The Twilight Zone. That includes an idea from an activity involving Aditya Putcha, Eliot Hochberg, and Nikki Zapanta, character attributes from an activity involving Tyler Weil and Aditya Putcha, and plots points and characters from an activity involving Aditya Putcha, Eliot Hochberg, Luke Knox, Amada Gish, Tyler Weil, and Monica Alquetz.
