The dreamers have found that more nightmarish the dream, the more vividly you remember it. With the Ghost Light Series, Dreamcatcher Entertainment brings you horror theatre at its best. The Death of Emily Webster ups the death toll as this dark comedy hits theatres this October. In East in Red, a scarily realistic and all-too-familiar tale surfaces in the Lower East Side as it seems a serial killer is on the loose.

 OTHER DETAILS:

The Death of Emily Webster
The Death of Emily Webster gives new meaning to the term dark comedy and one that crosses between Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman, Lieutenant of Inishmore), and Christopher Durang (Beyond Therapy, Why Torture is Wrong and the people who Love Them). The Death of Emily Webster written by Ashley Griffin (Changed for Good with Stephen Schwartz, Twilight the Musical,) tells the story of 3 young adults who are thrown into a game of cat and mouse after their self proclaimed influence in a mutual friend's suicide forces them to accept that selfishness and manipulation ultimately lead down a path of blood, death, and destruction.

East in Red
The grizzly murders of Jack the Ripper take on a whole new level of brutality in modern day New York City. As a sadistic serial killer terrorizes the streets of the East Village, four women fall victim to ghastly acts of contempt. But a dark secret slowly rises to the surface on the night of the final and most brutal murder. A psychological thriller filled with accusations, sharp knives, and buckets of blood, East in Red is sure to leave your heart pounding, your blood frozen, and your eyes peeled over your shoulder before you even leave the theatre!
