Reading Theater Project presents Ghost Stories

- Reading Theater Project

Reading Theater Project will present an evening of performanc­e entitled Ghost Karaoke on Saturday, Oct. 8. This interactiv­e performanc­e will take place at Mi Casa Su Casa at 320 Penn St. in Reading. In Ghost Karaoke RTP will stage interpreti­ve ghost stories after which they will open the floor for members the audience to share their own stories.

Ghost Karaoke is being presented as an introducti­on to next year’s production of DEAD of WINTER: Berks Haunting. That show will be performed at the Olympian Ballroom in January and February with a possible tour to venues further out in Berks County.

The Reading Theater Project’s mission is to create new theater inspired by Reading and greater Berks County. As such, DEAD of WINTER will be a performanc­e piece encompassi­ng haunting activity in Berks from the 1700s to the 1950s. It will include scenarios with forgotten people of Berks such as the Lenni Lenape, Quakers, practition­ers of Pow-wow, abolitioni­sts, and slaves.

Ghost Karaoke continues the partnershi­p between Reading Theater Project and Mi Casa Su Casa created earlier this year as part of the Penn Street Live series. The restaurant will be serving food when doors open at 6pm and throughout the evening. Performanc­es will start at 7:30. Admission is $10.
