Come sit on the wide front porch with members of the Wells family in Southwest Virginia, as their Sunday afternoon conversation turns to tales of the supernatural. Despite warnings from Grandpa Archie Wells that God “don’t take too kindly” to letting the Devil and haints out on His Day, the stories persist. After all, Grandma Ida Wells will tell anybody who asks, the mountains know things and have secrets that few living beings can ever see or hear. Those who do, come away changed forever – if they come back at all. 

Description:

A 90-minute play in two acts with a 15-minute intermission. It is set in fall 1969 on a Sunday afternoon on the wide front porch of the Wells family homeplace in the coal town of Roda, Virginia.  Three rocking chairs and an-mid-century modern glider line one side of the porch.  A tall table filled with a 1960’s era pitcher and a tray of glasses and foot, and a couple of stools balance the other side. The ghost tales are depicted under a single light with the full stage lighting down.

Number of Actors:

There are 8 main actors: 3 females and 5 males. 9 ghosts:  3 females and 5 males, which could be played by lead actors.
