About the Theme

A “ghost story” does not have to be scary.
“Ghosts” can take on many forms.
A “ghost” character does not need to speak or materialize in your script.
Consider what a “ghost” may mean to you or your culture.
Take advantage of the limitless possibilities of audio (compared to a stage production)
