This is your official invitation to GHOSTSHOW, the third production brought to you by the Watch City Players. We've been working on this for a while now, but we were held up when we struggled to find performance space. But now we are settled on the most lovely and accommodating Democracy Center in Cambridge! And we are assembling a lovely collection of short pieces around the theme of ghosts. Some are very funny, some are dramatic, and some are just plain interesting! So, I present to you,
GHOSTSHOW
