The U.S. premiere of “2:22 – A Ghost Story” comes to Center Theatre Group / Ahmanson Theatre on October 29 for a five week run. In this four-person play, Jenny (Constance Wu) believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam (Finn Wittrock) isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, their old friend Lauren (Anna Camp) and her new partner Ben (Adam Rothenberg). Belief and skepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they are going to stay up until 2:22 a.m… and then they will know.
Transporting audiences into one adrenaline-fueled night where secrets will emerge and ghosts may appear, “2:22 – A Ghost Story” asks, what do you believe? And do you dare to discover the truth?
