Time to A Phantom

Recommended by

    Time to A Phantom is a captivating ghost story that dives deep into race and gentrification. What starts as a quirky haunting quickly transforms into an intense, gripping exploration of Kyle's life and choices. A brilliant short play with emotional depth and an impactful twist.

    A fun ghost story that also has something to say about race and gentrification. Loved how simple this scenario starts out as. Loved how it kept getting stranger and stranger until Kyle is reckon with the way he lives his life. This would be so fun to see produced.

    Simple and powerful. The best kinds of ghost stories are always motivated by simple human grief and loss. This one sneaks up on you, starting out comic but suddenly turning very intense and gripping. A fine short piece.
