The students of Woods Mill Middle School really love to put on a show. But Ms. Walker has chosen a spooky script—the one that her great grandmother tried to stage but was never performed because of mysterious mayhem plaguing rehearsals? And what about that never-used creepy trap door with an elevator to the dark tunnels below the stage—is it even safe? And what about the strange–and strangely evil–voices that echo in the theater, and the wickedly weird things that keep happening during every single rehearsal? Join the fright-filled fun—just in time for Halloween!—as the cast of “The Phantom of the Auditorium” tries to survive until Opening Night in this tale of musical mayhem from the mind of R.L. Stine. We’ve heard of “Stage Fright!” but—SERIOUSLY—this is ridiculous!
