Phantasmagoria

“Phantasmagoria is an original play, written by Jack Horton Gilbert and directed by Tom Costello,  that blends horror, dark comedy, and intense character-driven drama to tell the story of five friends, and one stranger, who gather together on Halloween night, only to be confronted by a supernatural evil that has haunted their town for years. Set in a secluded, boarded-up summer home, the play delves into the psychological tension between the characters as they grapple with fear, guilt, and the choices they must make to survive.

This production will invite audiences into a world where the familiar is twisted into something unsettling and where friendship is tested in the face of unimaginable danger. Phantasmagoria is an exploration of fear, friendship, and the supernatural that aims to push the boundaries of traditional theater. Conceived to be as scary as it is fun—this production will leave audiences with a story that lingers long after the curtain falls.” - thetanknyc.org
