Play # 2
Too Many Ghosts by Todd Wallinger
Synopsis
Jo Crenshaw dreams of turning the abandoned house she inherited in Salem, Massachusetts, into a successful bed and breakfast. But that could be a problem when she and her teenage daughter discover the place is home to five rambunctious ghosts. And none of the spirits are particularly keen on sharing it with an endless parade of guests.
The level-headed Jo quickly lays down the law. There will be absolutely no haunting of the guests. But Roland, a cobbler from the 1790s, can’t help himself. He ends up scaring off the very first guest they have: a popular travel blogger who dubs the place ”the most haunted B&B in New England.” Within days, the place is mobbed by thrill-loving tourists seeking their own ghostly encounters.
Unfortunately, this draws the attention of Julia, the greedy owner of the largest hotel in town. After her plans to sabotage the property fail, she decides there’s only one way to put the B&B out of business: hire a trio of “ghostbusters” to get rid of the ghosts for good.
In the “spirit” of the popular TV show, Too Many Ghosts is a hilarious, heartwarming comedy that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits any time of year.
