  • Gather by the Ghost Light: Slasher’s Delight

    We produced an audio play version of this script on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast in our Season 5 line-up (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s5e7). The scene opens in a terrifying manner - the bound ladies, the masked killer, the bloody murder weapon. But then the story immediately shifts into a humorous take on the slasher genre as Soucy takes us on a fun journey. A wonderfully crafted horror comedy! Slasher's delight is truly a delight to read or produce!

  • Gather by the Ghost Light: 3x3

    We produced this script as an audio play on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast in our Season 5 line-up (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s5e4). Odom has given us a touching and relatable story with "3x3" and while this is a frustrating situation for the characters, he has cleverly planted seeds of humor throughout creating a perfect balance of drama and comedy. Highly recommended!

  • Gather by the Ghost Light: Ground Control to Baby Tom

    We produced this script as an audio play on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast in our Season 5 line-up (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s5e3). A tale of two women astronauts on a mission to both carry the first pregnancy in space only to find out there's only enough sample for one pregnancy. McClain does a remarkable job building the tension between the characters as they both make their case for being the host all leading to a satisfying ending. Highly recommended fem sci-fi story!

  • Gather by the Ghost Light: Postpartum

    We produced an audio play version of this script on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast in our Season 5 Line-up (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s5e2). Jillian Blevins has craftily sharpened the edges of this story with a perfect balance of psychological and supernatural horror. As the audience (and reader), this play opens a window into the psyche of the Mother and keeps us guessing if these eerie noises from the baby monitor are real or tricks of the mind. Masterfully written!

  • Jonathan Cook: Sacrifice

    What a fun premise! This dark comedy makes you think it's going one way, then it goes another, then it gives you an ending that is truly satisfying. Jacquelyn has a talent for crafting clever stories and, in this case, she gives us humor and horror all wrapped into a tidy play. Brilliant work and highly recommended!

  • Jonathan Cook: Conflict/Resolution

    In "Conflict/Resolution", Baughfman gives us clever storytelling by personifying plot devices. It's like we are in a writer's head watching their brain struggle with which direction is more important for their story to go. Brilliantly written!

  • Gather by the Ghost Light: For a Limited Time Only (The Bread Play)

    We produced an audio play version of this script in the Season 4 line-up of the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e17). Prillaman has brilliantly tied together romance, horror, and comedy in this twisty and sometimes absurd story. We often hear the phrase "unlimited deal" advertised by restaurants and Prillaman does a crafty job of showing us what it would look like if this phrase was taken literally. Very well written and highly recommended!

  • Gather by the Ghost Light: Immersion Therapy

    We produced an audio play version of this script in our season 4 line-up on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e15). David MacGregor is a master of clever comedy and that talent shines like the brass of a clown horn in his play "Immersion Therapy". He takes us on a comedic journey as Melissa overcomes her fear of clowns by having to confront it face to face. Literally. MacGregor also craftily makes us feel sympathy for Droppo the clown as his feelings surface through the comedic situation. Well written! Great dialogue! Highly recommended!
