Ghost – Writer

by Michael Hollinger

Coming Next — January 18-19

“Tell me a story. Please…tell me a story.”

That’s a request we’ve all made since we learned to talk — and listen. And we still love a story — TV, movies, books, theatre – all stories to entertain, enrich, inspire, amuse.

At The Storefront Theatre, we tell stories through the faces and voices of actors but your imagination supplies the rest – set, props, costumes, everything.

We are reader’s theatre.

Coming in January…

Ghost-Writer by Michael Hollinger

Novelist Franklin Woolsey dies mid-sentence, but his secretary Myra continues to take dictation. Attacked by skeptics, the press and Woolsey’s jealous widow, Myra sets out to prove she is more than just an artful forger. Is she trying to steal Woolsey’s legacy now that she cannot have his love, or might she truly possess a gift the world can’t understand?

The Best of Short-Shorts:
A Festival of 10-Minute Plays

Our 10-minute play festival is very popular. Many people have told us it’s their favorite show of the season every year. So, this year, we wondered if people love this show so much – where we present the best 9 or 10 plays out of hundreds submitted – how would they feel about seeing the best of all those winners throughout our ten years? We think you’ll love it and as you know: Love it or hate it — it won’t last long.

SHOW DETAILS:

March 1 | 7:30pm

March 2 | 2:30pm

Sweepstakes by Judy Simpson Cook

Eight people, friends all their lives, share their hopes and dreams with each other. They have big ideas of things they’d like to do if they had the money; a lot of money. One of them is a sweepstakes fanatic, entering every one that comes along with the promise that when he wins — and he knows he will someday — he’s going to split that money with them. And he’s right. He wins. And now they have to decide if they really want what they thought they did? It’s time to put the money where they’ve always said their heart is. A sweet poignant comedy that might make us look at our own dreams and what we did — or didn’t do — about them. And why.

SHOW DETAILS:

April 12 | 7:30pm

April 13 | 2:30pm

This project was supported by the Union County Community Arts Council and the North Carolina
Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources
