by BWW News Desk - October 06, 2016
???????Who doesn't love a spooky story on a cool autumn night, with leaves blowing, and pumpkins grinning? This year, DreamWrights Center for Community Arts will be telling a theatrically haunted house story: DreamFrights! Designed by Ray Olewiler, this 350 foot haunted house maze will employ many theatrical effects to appeal to the senses. DreamFrights design volunteer and York City Solicitor, Jason Sabol explains, "You don't find many haunted houses produced by a theater, so our technical ability to use lights, sounds, sets, and actors to create a frightening and fun - or mostly fun for the younger kids - walkthrough is at a higher level than your everyday local haunted house production.  Not only that, the location itself is perfect! DreamWrights is going to be transformed into a creepy old theater and it certainly doesn't hurt that we already have a resident ghost - or two!"
