Usually when you go see a show during the Halloween season, it’s you who experiences the ghosts. They will haunt you, scare you, and sometimes, teach you a valuable lesson. But what if the scene was reversed? What if YOU were the ghost, coming back to interact with the living?

That’s the premise of GIVE UP THE GHOST, an interactive and immersive haunting play where you, the audience, are your own ghosts in the afterlife, lingering in death’s foyer before the Ferryman brings you across the River to your final destination. This experience is an expansion of the acclaimed, award-winning 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival production, One Last Thing Before You Go, from Spectacular Disaster Factory LLC.

Participants play their dead selves called back from the shore of Eternity to bear witness to the sorrows and terrors of the living. This is not a gore fest, extreme haunt or jump-scare maze. The audience will interact with characters at the edge of life and death in scenes that can be violent, tragic, and occasionally darkly humorous. The choices each audience member makes will haunt them, will change their story, and just might change the entire narrative. What choices will you make, as your light grows dim?

Give Up the Ghost will be staged at the First Christian Church of Whittier for a limited run: September 27 (preview), October 4, 11, 18, 25, and November 1, 8,
15. Each night has two 90-minute shows at 8pm and 10pm.
