If you’re looking for comedic entertainment, Lower Macungie Middle School Theatre invites you to attend the fall comedy “Grandma’s Ghost.”

Performances will be held 7:30 p.m. Nov. 17, 18 and 19 at the middle school, 6299 Lower Macungie Road.

The story begins with a shy girl, Sharon, who somehow summons her grandmother’s ghost while she and a friend are playing with a Ouija board.

As Grandma interacts with the real world, her antics become quite the distraction and trouble for Sharon who is the only one who can see and hear her. Join in the chaotic fun as Grandma creates trouble, with some surprises along the way, while possibly helping Sharon in the long run.

With a cast of 17 and a crew of 40 to 50, students have been working hard to give you some fun entertainment.

Georgia Hoffman plays the part of Laney, best friend of Sharon. Laney believes Sharon about her grandma’s ghost.

“She’s energetic and fun; matches me personally so well that it’s kind of easy to mix myself well with Laney when performing,” Hoffman said. “There’s a lot of conflict in this play after messing around with a Ouija board and later trying to figure out how to get Grandma back,” Hoffman added.

She mentions Sharon has a hard time focusing on her grades as she tries to keep her secret while there are noises, floating things and pranks going on.

Hoffman hopes the audience has a fun time watching. “It’s a really funny show. There’s a lot of life lessons in the show. Enjoy the moments with the people you have in your life now. A really fun show to see for your family, funny acting and funny lines,” Hoffman said.

Julia Murphey-Peterson’s character Dottie is an energetic ghost that appears after Sharon tries to send Grandma back. Other ghosts, who are completely confused as to why they are here, appear to share in the chaos and more trouble ensues. “I like how they all come together, they have fun with their personalities and antics,” Murphey-Peterson said.

As far as being part of theater, Murphey-Peterson said, “It’s fun to audition. You’re nervous at first but encourage each other; relationships are built from there on.”

She describes this show as “funny acting and choreography, an enjoyable play to watch with some surprises along the way.”

Stage managers Nora Benner and Harrison Cobell help actors with their lines, fill in for absentees and give cues for lights and sound effects to help keep the show running smoothly.

Cobell auditioned specifically for stage manager. He said his interest was sparked for this audition by his mom who is involved in stage management at a college.

Benner, who also auditioned for stage manager, was inspired by her sister who was involved in theater while in middle school.

Benner and Cobell were both involved in previous LMMS performances with set building and crew.

Tickets for the show can only be purchased at the door – cash or check only.
