"Haunting of Hill House" Show Seeking Kids and Teens

Seeking young performers for "Haunting of Hill House" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: F. Andrew Leslie’s dramatization of Shirley Jackson’s thrilling novel of the same name brings the story of Hill House and all its ghosts to theatrical life. Cut off from the outside world by its remote location and shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent except for the daily visits of its grumbling caretaker, Mrs. Dudley. Its isolation is broken by the arrival of Dr. Montague, an investigator of supernatural phenomena who has been granted a short lease by the present owner. His mission is to delve into the morbid history of the house and to come to grips with the occult forces that have made it uninhabitable for many years. He is joined by three others, and their investigation brings on a crisis in which the evil forces of Hill House are goaded to a new and, for one of those present, fatal fury.
