Ghost story debuts in Scranton

SCRANTON, PA — “The Woman in Black,” a play of haunting memories and expiation that ran for 15 years on London’s West End, will have its Scranton debut on Wednesday, September 21 at 7:00 p.m. in The Performance Space at Hotel Jermyn, on the corner of Wyoming and Spruce.

Presented by The Northeast Theatre, the play is a ghost story adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the book by Susan Hill. It is directed by David Zarko and features Scranton actor Conor McGuigan and New York actor Duane Noch (seen last season as Daniel in the world premiere of Mark Medoff’s play, “The Same Life Over”).

Tickets for the preview performance on Wednesday will be $10, with students half price.

After the Wednesday debut, performances will be Thursdays at 7:00 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m.; and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. through October 9. Tickets for the regular run will cost $20 general, $15 senior, and $5 student. For more information call 570/558-1515 or visit www.thenortheasttheatre.us.
