Ragged Blade presents "Grave Undertakings" October 27, 2006

Dying to see a halloween play? Join us for an evening in the cemetry with four "comedy/horror" plays that we dug up just for this occasion.

On tap are:

Halloween Haul, by John Cruncleton. John's known in Tulsa for writing some really weird stuff. In this short piece the bullies stealing candy from the trick-or-treater wind up with a really... bad.... bag...

Cast: Keith Clawson, Stephen Heffernan, Karen Clark, Mike White, Justin Pollard, Jesse Jackson & Jona Xiao

*****

Charming, by Matt Burlingame. Written just for this production. The young ladies from Charmed meet in the cemetery to try the most dangerous spell of all... resurrecting Shannon Dougherty's career. Are they successful? Worse yet... why? You'll be horrified!

Cast: Erin Marie Hogan, Laura Kirk, Jona Xiao & Belinda Quimby

*****

Kiss of Death, by Jerry Rabushka. Carson and Lisa are on a date in the graveyard when they inadvertnatly awaken Lisa's entire family of dead relatives, all of whom are hooked on Starbucks and one who still takes great pleasure in decapitating people, living or dead.

Cast: Justin Pollard, Erin Marie Hogan, Laura Kirk, Mike White, Jona Xiao, Catherine Lipinski, Jenise Hornung, Jesse Jackson, Stephen Heffernan, Karen Clark & Trisha Harashe

*****

A Ghost, a Zombie, and a Vampire, by Steve Caverno. Finding love after death isn't so easy. The ghost? You can see right through her! The Zombie? It takes guts? The Vampire? I'll drink to that! This play was the winner of Ragged Blade's Halloween playwriting contest.

Cast: Jenise Hornung, Stephen Heffernan, Keith Clawson, Catherine Lipinski
