I’LL BE BACK BEFORE MIDNIGHT Runs Nov. 6-23

I’LL BE BACK BEFORE MIDNIGHT
Mariemont Players, Inc.
Nov. 6-23
Walton Creek Theatre

Directed by Eric Day
Produced by Joey Domhoff and Aimée Ward

Cast: Madelynn Meredith as Jan Sanderson, Jonathan Cody White as Greg Sanderson, Natasha Boeckmann as Laura Sanderson & Chuck Ingram as George Willowby

After suffering a recent nervous breakdown, Jan retreats with her husband Greg, an archaeologist, to a secluded farmhouse in the countryside—conveniently located near his latest dig site. Hoping for peace and quiet, Jan instead finds herself swept up in eerie tales from George, the quirky and comical farmer who owns the house. He warns of a gruesome murder that once occurred there… and a ghost that still haunts the grounds. Just as Jan’s nerves begin to fray, Greg’s alluring and conniving sister Laura shows up unannounced, further disrupting Jan’s fragile sense of calm. Strange noises echo through the night, chilling visions plague her, and Jan begins to question what’s real and what’s not. Is she relapsing—or is someone trying to drive her mad? As the tension escalates, Jan’s fight for sanity takes a shocking turn in a gripping night of suspense, mystery, and psychological thrills. Adult themes/violence not recommended for small children.
