Brian J. Burton
Little Theatre Comedy Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus Characters: 3 male, 3 female Interior Set Bethany is bright, strong, independent, beautiful and has zero self esteem.
She has brought her finance, Floyd, and his mother, Verna, up to her cabin in the woods, the site of the hunting accident that killed Chance, her first husband.
Much to her consternation, he or rather, his ghost is still there.
Only Bethany can see him, so Floyd and Verna think she is crazy as
"Some plays speak to the mind, some to the heart and some hammer the funny bone. Few manage to hit all three in the same evening. Ghost of a Chance is that rare theater experience... Written by Disney veterans Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus Ghost of a Chance is a touching, funny story of love and redemption... A roller coaster of emotions from opening to closing... [and] a sturdy reflection of life in general... Finding the humor in life’s trials and tribulations keeps you sane, and best of all, love and redemption are always there for the taking."

| Chance beth's first husband; the hare; wild and free, adventure was his middle name; loves Beth as well and is not·about to let a little thing like his own death keep him from spending the rest of their life together |
| Verna Floyd's mother; protective and suspicious, looking at life in a rose-colored rear-view mirror |
| Crystal flamboyant with a capitol FLAM; actually with a capitol BOYANT as well; a psychic with a sarcastic edge that's Wilkenson sharp, but there's a darkness behind that party girl facade |
| Adam Verna's age; happy-go-lucky charm that's contagious |
| Bethany a new woman; bright, strong, independent, beautiful; but she's a locked vault, living life only for tomorrow; dependency- 10, self esteem- 0 |
