Buzz Halliburton, an entertainer fallen on hard times, is summoned to Gargoyle House, a spooky castle on a lonely New England island. The Gargoyle House has a family curse so there is a werewolf in the house. But who can it be? The new governess? Sheriff Birdsong? The neighbor with the leaky boat? Olga, the gypsy? Wild and crazy fun for the whole family in the spoof for Halloween.

Age appropriate – all. Remember, wear a costume and win a prize!

Tim Kelly’s (1931-1998) first stage mystery was published in the 1960s—at the same time he had plays opening in Boston, New York and Hamburg. From that time, he kept up a steady flow of works for stage and screen stage, including adaptations of M*A*S*H and Murder by Natural Causes. His plays have been performed by The Royal Court Rep, The Studio Theatre, Manhattan Theatre Club, Los Angeles Actor's Theatre, the Aspen Playwright's Festival and the Seattle Repertory Company.

Charles Ault, Sr. started The Player Guild in 1936 as a means to put food on the table in the middle of the depression. A love for the theatre and a creative mind brought a group of talented community actors and actresses together to provide the public with live entertainment. This concept was passed on to his son Charley Ault, Jr. who now runs The Players Guild, beginning its 74th year of productions.
