Haunted or not haunted. That’s the question facing five people in an old upstate New York manor on Lake Ontario in Joe Simonelli’s thriller, “The Spirit of Bay Manor.” Says the local playwright who’s been favorably compared to Neil Simon, the manor’s guests include a Realtor, a paranormal investigator, a psychic, the owner of the manor and a woman whose aunt died in the house 30 years prior.
Joining Simonelli in the cast are café regulars Chris Durso, Sherri Hepler and Kristen Wilson. Rose Eda Lee makes her Cape Café debut.
MORE INFORMATION:
The play opens at the Cape Café Dessert Theatre on Oct. 4 and will be performed every weekend through Nov. 2.
Lori Sigrist directs.
