takes a shocking turn with Sams untimely death. Sam is
trapped between two worlds and he seeks the help of a
phony fun loving psychic Oda Mae Brown to help Molly
when shes in danger. Yes, the Righteous Brothers Un-
chained Melody song makes an appearance in the musi-
Roshunda Jones cal as well as the famous pottery scene! With breathtak-
Director of Theatre ing special effects, Ghost is sure to be a treat for all
