purchase tickets Showtimes Sunday, October 25, 2:00PM Synopsis Get ready for a hauntingly hilarious new musical from the writing team behind County Fair! From Theatrical Rights Worldwide comes PURGAstory, a spirited original musical by Matt Webster and Taylor Ferrera. First developed in collaboration with NTPA Collegiate Pursuits, this brand-new work returns to Plano for the next phase of its development. The Story: When a group of high school students embarks on a seemingly ordinary school trip, they stumble into an old hotel and discover it is already occupied by ghosts. When the living and the dead realize they can see one another, what follows is a wildly entertaining mix of mystery, heart, and hilarity. This special staged reading brings the full musical to its feet as the cast works directly with Webster and Ferrera to continue shaping the show through rehearsal, performance, and new revisions. Featuring original songs, new material, and a talented ensemble of pre-professional performers, this is a rare opportunity to experience a new musical while it is still being created. Come see what happens next in the story of PURGAstory—and be able to say, “I saw it before everyone else.” Credits: In Partnership with Theatrical Rights Worldwide.
