Ghostlight Theatre Ensemble Presents Virtual Production of VINTAGE HITCHCOCK

Ghostlight Theatre Ensemble will present a virtual production of Vintage Hitchcock, August 6, 7 & 8 at 7pm and August 9 at 2pm.

Suspense, mayhem and a touch of screwball comedy come together in VINTAGE HITCHCOCK: A LIVE RADIO PLAY, written by Joe Landry, and directed by Helen Dixon.

Spies, murder, love, and other trademarks of Alfred Hitchcock come to life in the style of an old-time radio broadcast with a live audience. The show is a triple feature, with three plays derived from early Hitchcock films (The Lodger, Sabotage and The 39 Steps) - and the show will stream live via Zoom to ensure that performers and audience members are COVID-safe.

These spooky tales translate well to a virtual environment, and feature vintage commercials, a daring train chase, a serial killer's ominous presence and a devastating explosion through the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring. You won't want to miss it!

All performances will be held live via Zoom. The show will not be recorded, so your only chance to see the show will be to watch it live during our Zoom performances.

You must register in advance for the performance you plan to watch, as we have a limit to the number of people who can watch simultaneously. Performances will be available for free, but donations are strongly suggested and much appreciated. Register at http://ghostlightte.org/main-stage-hitchcock.html.
