When Sal and Jenny inherit an old theatre from their great uncle it’s like their dreams are coming true. But first they must deal with the real estate agents that want to scare the young couple into believing the old theatre is haunted. Such is the story of the short one-act play “Ghost Light” presented on December 14th at the downtown Fallon Theatre. “We chose the play because the number of characters in the play matched the number of students in the class. In addition to that, the plot is similar to the situation I am involved with with the downtown Fallon Theatre Project” stated director Glen Perazzo. “The community now has a home base for community theatre groups.”
The play was well received by family and friends.
