Each year, New Jersey’s premier theme park draws thousands of thrill-seekers to Fright Fest – an after-sunset immersive haunting experience. This spooktacular event invites the Jersey Turnpike’s finest aspiring scare performers to come out of the woodwork and into the limelight! By late August, the casting notice is out, and in the hands of old souls who have scared before and fledglings, who are just starting their creepy careers. Regardless of experience, they all share one common desire: to be the most spine-chilling monster of them all. But, when technical difficulties threaten to halt auditions, the ‘boogey they/thems’ are determined that the scare must go on! With humour, heart, and a healthy dose of chaos, this one-act play offers a tribute to the (seasonal) unsung heroes of America's theme parks. Will you scream? Or just be left afraid of the dark?
