  • Daniel Prillaman: It's Getting Dark

    I recently had the opportunity to watch a performance of this short play during Bump in the Night Theatre’s “Jump Scares: Vol. 1.” It’s hard to speak more about this one without spoiling the journey, but there is some palpable dread weaved into every beat. Often, the scariest things are the things that could easily happen to us any day. “It’s Getting Dark” is standing tall (or hunched over) right there with the best of them.

  • Melissa Milich: It's Getting Dark

    On a wilderness hike the human psychopaths are much more dangerous than any wild animal. This brought to mind the infamous trailside killer of California who raped and murdered several hikers before he was caught. Garrett Michael McCann has written a frightening play where you feel the helplessness of the characters and with an unsettling cliff hanger at the end.

  • Bram Hartman: It's Getting Dark

    Well written, quickly gets in the action and puts our characters in a very scary situation. The audience will question whether they choose to take that hike or head to the movies next time. The pacing was spot on and didn't give away too much, leaving the audience to really wonder...

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: It's Getting Dark

    Whoa! The stakes start out very high and they keep getting higher in this short, but intense piece. If it's not even dark yet and things are already are this bad, what will happen when the sun goes all the way down!?
