    I produced an audio play version of this script on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/ep-48-open-mic-night-by-evan-baug…). Evan has a magical talent for writing eerie tales and in "Open Mic Night" you don't realize just how eerie it is until the delightful twist slaps you in the face. A wonderfully written horror play that is perfect for any theatre wanting to host a fright night!

    No spoilers, but what a clever play! Highly recommend you listen to OPEN MIC NIGHT with the Gather By The Ghostlight podcast. Evan Baughfman has written something spooky and very fun that is reminiscent of an episode of Tales from the Crypt.

    Whew! This play just builds and builds and then wham! Frightening as it is, I would love to see this performed. Just not from the front row. At least there is a podcast version to check out and I will! https://www.podpage.com/gather-by-the-ghost-light/ep-48-open-mic-night-…
