The Ghosts of Pineville - Page to Stage!

In mid 2017 The Lexington Children's Theatre approached with the desire to bring my comic trilogy to their stage. Over the next 9 months I worked with them to translate sequential art into a script....and it was one of the most exciting, rewarding, and supportive collaborative creative processes I've ever experienced!

In the summer of 2018 the characters were cast, rehearsals began, and The Ghosts of Pineville Stage Play was performed a week before Halloween! And I loved it!!!

The script exists for future performances.

The Ghosts of Pineville
A Learning Stage Series Performance

Chopper Sweeney never really believed in ghosts…until one started believing in him. Chopper and his friends, Hank and Glory, set off to solve the case of Simon Stillwater, but what starts as a small town adventure quickly turns into a standoff with the supernatural. Adapted by LCT’s Jeremy Kisling and Sara Turner, author of the graphic novels and co-founder of Cricket Press, this locally grown ghost story will have all of Pineville on pins and needles.
