afterlife: a ghost story
in the Charles Mosesian Theater
January 16 - February 6, 2011
Press Opening Monday, January 17 @ 7:30pm
An approaching storm forces a young married couple to come home to their empty beach house and batten down the hatches. When a giant wave comes crashing over them, they tumble into an alternate reality where both must confront the ghosts that haunt them and decide what their afterlife will be. This poetic and beautiful World Premiere by Steve Yockey is sure to captivate you.
Run Time: 2 Hours with one 15 minute intermission.
Yockey is an engaging writer.

...a testament to both Yockey's inventiveness and refreshingly original dialogue and to Warner's taut, dynamic staging.
