The Bottom of the Lake
by Steven Stack
Summer camp. The memories. The s’mores. The campfire. The ghost stories.
Dani’s out in the middle of the woods at night, alone, without a flashlight. She meets three girls from another camp, and the new friends tell ghost stories to pass the time.
After each of their stories comes to life onstage, only one story remains to be told – a story none of them saw coming.
An awesome combination of ghost stories, urban legends, teen issues, romance, absurd comedy, and film noir, all in a single play!
