| See Blithe Séance in Two NYC Theatre Fests in October NEW YORK CITY — EMG Productions is thrilled to announce that the short play "Blithe Séance” by Eugene Grygo is in two theater festivals in NYC during October — the Boo! Short Play Festival (SPF) at The Players Theatre, and Here, Between and Beyond: An Evening of Haunting One Acts, a production of the Rising Sun Performance Company as part of the Days of the Dead Festival at FRIGID NYC. Grygo's play takes place in Boston, Halloween 1999. The main character THEO has sold his home in Boston but wants to free it from aggressive ghost RUPERT. THEO employs a psychic-medium JASPER for help. They hold an epic séance and THEO must figuratively and literally wrestle with the demons of his past before he can move forward. The BOO! fest is taking place at The Players Theatre at 115 MacDougal St., between West 3rd & Bleecker Streets, NYC 10012. The Here, Between and Beyond production as part of FRIGID NYC will take place at the Kraine Theatre, 85 East 4th St, NYC 10003. •At SPF/Players Theatre: Blithe Séance will be performed: Thursday, Oct. 5 at 7 PM; Friday, Oct. 6 at 7 PM; Saturday, Oct. 7 at 7 PM; and Sunday, Oct. 8 at 3 PM.
