Whisper House

    It’s 1942 – at the height of World War II – and young Christopher is sent to live with an aunt he’s never met: Lily, the reclusive keeper of a Maine light house. On the rocky shore, Christopher is caught in the middle of a collection of strangers: the patriotic Sheriff Charles; Lily’s Japanese handyman, Yasuhiro; and a pair of ghosts who may or may not be entirely real.

    A darkly mysterious musical about our fear of the unknown from the Tony Award winning composer of Spring Awakening and the Tony nominated book writer of Sponge Bob Square Pants.

    10 words or less: A pop musical ghost story.
    Running Time: 100 minutes, including one 15 minute intermission
    Rated: PG.
