And BLACK SHEEP, directed by Chelsea B. Lockie will feature Mia Christo and Kathleen Simmonds.
From a recent entry in La Petite Morgue's blog:
'In The Basement is a smart, darkly funny play, with witty dialogue. Most writers find it difficult to strike the right balance between funny and scary. If an audience member is afraid for the characters they're watching, they'll have a hard time laughing at them; and the reverse is usually true as well: If we care about the people onstage and whether or not they survive to curtain call, we're usually too nervous to laugh. But, sometimes, comedy and horror can actually feed off one another - we laugh because we're nervous or uncomfortable. Watching In The Basement is like reading The Worst Room - hilarious and horrifying, completely surreal and completely familiar, bizarre and over-the-top, yet utterly real. Because sometimes real life is the scariest story there is.' - Claire Fishman
Chelsea B. Lockie's production of 'In The Basement' was the recipient of the runner-up prize at the first annual Nu. 10 Festival at the John Desotelle Studio.
Thanks everyone who came and supported and to the dedicated and talented cast!
In the Basement will be mounted this June as part of Nuance Theatre's Nu. 10 Short Play Festival at the John Desotelle Studio.
The production will be directed by Chelsea B. Lockie and feature performances by Shelby Rebecca Wong, Melody Wilson, and Jeannine Scarpino.

'Eggs' (or 'Eier') has just completed it's second run at the MUT! Theatre in Hamburg Germany. The play was directed and translated by Rayka Kobiella and featured performances by Miriam Ibrahim (Lydia) and Lamin Leroy Gibba (Troy).
