***AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT***Norman Family Theatre will hold auditions for "Crossing Over" by Laura Mazzuca Toops on Friday, January 17th at 7p.m. at 1309 W. Boyd in Norman
Six current-day ghost hunters set out to find the truth in the murder legend of Vinney Keller, a naïve teenager who was found dead in her farmhouse cellar in 1903. Historical opinion places the blame on the Keller’s hired hand: Enos Patchett, a lumbering, illiterate man in his 40s, who was with the Keller family for years. But there were other suspects as well. The ghost hunters hope to contact Vinney’s spirit to find out the real story. But for some of the hunters, truth is secondary to hyping their methods and results to increase their media popularity and TV opportunities. Soon the hunters find themselves mired in miscommunication between the living and the dead, the literal ghosts of the past who are determined to set the story straight.
Jacob Miller will be director, Cody Clark will AD. Stage manager TBD
