GHOSTLIGHT 9: A MUSICAL GHOST STORY

Written and performed by Michael Wolk

Directed by Aaron Mark

Forty years ago, young Olivia Haven fell to her death below

the stage of Broadway’s soon-to-be-demolished Bijou Theatre.

Tonight, four romantically entangled actors from the current

revival of Angel Street will hold a séance to contact her in this

solo musical ghost story.
