SYNOPSIS: Best friends Brooke and Zeke could not be more excited to tackle the next big Drama Club production – this year they know that they are going to be the leads. But when strange, seemingly supernatural events begin interrupting rehearsals, the friends begin to wonder whether the show they’re acting in might be cursed. And what’s up with the creepy script the theatre director has chosen-never performed because of mysterious mayhem plaguing its rehearsals? And what about that strange trap door that leads to tunnels below the stage, let alone the strange voices that echo in the theater? Join the fright-filled fun-just in time for Halloween! -as the cast of “The Phantom of the Auditorium” tries to survive until Opening Night in this mystifying tale of musical mayhem, based on the classic series by R.L. Stine!
