“The House on Galloway Street. A Ghost Story”

It is that time again and I am here to remind you that our auditions are on August 7 & 8 and WE WANT YOU !

“The House on Galloway Street. A Ghost Story” is an original work by local author and director John Ballesteros. We are searching for a couple of dozen cast and crew members, so we need everyone to come out and participate in this one.

It is a ghost story, yes, but it is a slice of life story that asks us about what exactly might cause a ghost to haunt a house? Or is the house even haunted? Join our actors as the group of teenagers who are trying to have these questions answered. It’s dark and it’s for Halloween.

The Drama Factory is a non-profit community theatre group that endeavours to provide no-fee access to quality arts programming in our community. We know it is the beginning of a new school year, and that is why we have chosen to run now. Come one, come all.
