Close Quarters, is being developed with this residency space in mind. Picture, if you will, a perfectly normal apartment: warm lighting, a loving couple, and a ghost who insists this was their home first and is absolutely fine about it. Truly. Fine! Except not really…Our ghost is aggrieved, indignant, and like all ghosts, has some unfinished business. According to them, the couple is invasive, disrespectful, and possibly evil. According to everyone else, the ghost may be experiencing some misdirected anger.

You, the audience, are the other spirits haunting the space, watching events unfold from within the cozy apartment. You’ll observe the couple as they attempt to navigate their relationship during an escalating supernatural turf war. You’ll also witness the ghost’s version of events, as their assigned psychopomp gently (and repeatedly) suggests that murder-by-haunting is not a healthy coping mechanism.

Will you support the ghost’s campaign to reclaim the apartment from the living menace? Will you side with the psychopomp and help guide this stubborn spirit toward the light? Or will you simply enjoy the chaos as exorcisms loom and everyone involved questions their life choices, living or otherwise?

This production includes moments of audience interaction, though ample space will be provided for those who prefer to haunt quietly and judge from afar.
