AUBURN, CA (MPG) - Join us for the Northern California premiere of playwright Ben Abbott’s quirky romance and haunted-house mashup as the State Theatre Acting Company (STAC) brings Abbott's tale of life, love, and the afterlife to the stage. A budding romance between housemates is interrupted by their landlord and a paranormal investigator who want to turn their home into a haunted vacation rental - but is it? 

Meet Ray, a book editor who's head-over-heels for his co-worker and housemate, Molly. As they struggle to meet a book deadline, chaos ensues when their bizarre landlord and a ghost hunter burst in with plans to transform their cozy workspace (which may actually be haunted) into a paranormal tourist destination. Will love and terror collide in a hilarious explosion?
