Fall Play 2026, Too Many Ghosts
Fall Play 2026, Too Many Ghosts
Synopsis: Jo Crenshaw dreams of turning the abandoned house she inherited in Salem, Massachusetts, into a successful bed and breakfast. But that could be a problem when she and her teenage daughter discover the place is home to five rambunctious ghosts. And none of the spirits are particularly keen on sharing it with an endless parade of guests.
The level-headed Jo quickly lays down the law. There will be absolutely no haunting of the guests. But Roland, a cobbler from the 1790s, can’t help himself. He ends up scaring off the very first guest they have: a popular travel blogger who dubs the place ”the most haunted B&B in New England.” Within days, the place is mobbed by thrill-loving tourists seeking their own ghostly encounters.
Unfortunately, this draws the attention of Julia, the greedy owner of the largest hotel in town. After her plans to sabotage the property fail, she decides there’s only one way to put the B&B out of business: hire a trio of “ghostbusters” to get rid of the ghosts for good.
In the “spirit” of the popular TV show, Too Many Ghosts is a hilarious, heartwarming comedy that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits any time of year.

Common Questions:
Who can audition? Anyone! 6th through 8th grade are invited to audition even if you are not in a drama class.
Are their tech positions? YES! If you are interested in the behind-the-scenes aspects of a show apply to be on tech crew!
What is the cost? The cost is $45 for all students. This will cover a t-shirt, activity fees, and licensing fees.
If I don't get my preferred role will I automatically become tech crew? No, you will need to fill out an additional tech crew application if you would like to be part of tech crew as a backup to an acting role.
Does everyone get cast? Unfortunately, each show has a limited number of acting roles and positions so we aren't always able to cast everyone. If you want to really rock your audition, come to the audition workshop on August 24 and 25 to work on audition techniques and get feedback on your monologues!
What if I have conflicts? I like to work with students even as they are in sports, clubs, and other activities. However, becuase plays and musicals depend on students being present, a large number of conflicts may result in a studnet not being cast. I address each of these concerns individually!
