Description

A man. His theatre. And its ghost.

Robert Laliberte has a dream—a dream to convert a run-down building into a premier space for bring-your-own-venue productions in his city’s Summer Theatre Festival, a.k.a. Skeeter Fest.

And if the belligerent ghost has anything to say about it, nobody's shows will go on.
