The Woman in Black — October 9th — 11th

September 1st, 2009 | Posted in Journal | No Comments »

From the direc­tor of the Ariel’s pro­duc­tions of “Mis­ery” and “Wait Until Dark,” Gallia’s res­i­dent mas­ter of ter­ror Michelle Miller, comes this chill­ing clas­sic ghost story — “The Woman in Black” adapted by Stephen Mal­la­tratt, from the book by Susan Hill. Star­ring Stephen Sis­son and Wes­ley Jack­son.

Stephen Sis­son is the Junior solic­i­tor Mr. Kipps, who has come to have act­ing lessons to por­tray this story of hor­ror that he’s endured, to have the mem­o­ries laid to rest. His teacher is played by the Ariel’s golden-boy Wes­ley Jack­son. Together they work through Kipps’s nights of hor­ror as he stays in the house of the late Mrs. Alice Drablow to go through her estate.

I read through the script with Steve last night, fresh in his hands. Just read­ing the story gave us both chills, and I know for a fact, hav­ing seen both these boys and Michelle at work, that it’s going to scare and dis­turb many who come to see it. Noth­ing like a ghost story por­trayed live before your eyes to get you in the Hal­loween spirit!

I’ll be work­ing behind the scenes on this one, so I’ve included it in the “Upcom­ing Gigs” sec­tion. So go there for all the details, and a link to buy the tick­ets. You don’t want to miss this one!
