Synopsis

A tale told in four vignettes, the theatre-venue itself becomes a character itself in this alternately terrifying, hilarious and always intriguing journey across the decades that allows the audience to experience the history of a haunted playhouse… from the inside.

For almost a century an evil presence has haunted the Orpheus Theatre, awaiting the fulfillment of a chilling prophecy.

A blood-stained Ouija board and a cryptic rhyme are the only keys that will unlock a terrifying truth.

As generation after generation encounters the legend of the Orpheus and the dark power that lurks within it, piece after piece of the sinister puzzle falls into place and the dark prophecy draws nearer to fulfillment.

Can anyone stop it?

Written with two endings—one scary, one comedic—giving producers and directors complete control over the kind of experience they want to give their audience.
