Tall Tales

(FULL LENGTH, HORROR/DRAMA, 1.5-2 hours)

Alabama is equally haunted by Christ and ghosts, and this is a play about both.

After losing his job and breaking up with his boyfriend, Noah is forced to return to his hometown in rural Alabama. He meets his childhood friends to find that his old world has changed dramatically in the eight years that he’s been gone; his tiny town is dying as the city nearby expands, most of his friends are stuck in dead-end jobs that they never wanted, and his first ex-boyfriend has returned to church and is now engaged to a woman. As Noah tries to find his new place in what he tried to leave behind, murders begin to occur, scandals are brought to light, and tragedy strikes in this slow-burn horror play about being othered in the Deep South.
