Beware the House on Haunted Hill!

by Matthew Byrd & Kathryn Funkhouser

Directed by HollyAnn Rogers & Mike Dunham

Come to the party…stay if you dare. An eccentric millionaire promises six guests a mysterious prize if they can survive the night at the only truly haunted house in the world. Everyone invited has a few skeletons in their closets though, and screwball scares lurk around every corner. The classic 50s horror movie House on Haunted Hill becomes a campy whodunnit in this charming stage adaptation.

Cast of Characters

Natashia Charles – WILLA PRITCHARD: The current owner of the house on Haunted Hill. He seems to live in fear of the house’s history and power but is strangely willing to rent it out to anyone who makes the right offer.

Jacob McVey – FREDERICK LOREN: A wealthy producer of popular stage thrillers. Elegant, witty, and undeniably mischievous. He’s Vincent Price.

Buffy Clark – ANNABELLE LOREN: An actress. Frederick’s wife and star of his plays. Unhappy about both and makes it known.

Theo Jonason – LANCE SCHROEDER: A pretty-boy actor and Annabelle’s costar in Frederick’s plays. Years after the events of this play, someone will invent the word “himbo” to describe him.

Ron Bradford – DR. DAVID TRENT: A pop psychiatrist to the stars, including Annabelle. He claims to be among the most respected professionals in his field. Few others support that claim.

Barbara Jonason – RUTH BRIDGERS: Theatre critic to a big newspaper, known to pan Frederick’s plays.

Sara Corn – NORA MANNING: A student impersonating a professor of the paranormal.

McKensie Cummings – YOUNGER and  Betty Warren – ELDER SLYDES: The house’s caretakers. Deeply unnerving.

Stephanie McVey – Stage Manager
