About the Play:
When Jo buys the rundown Weary Inn, she hopes it will be a fresh start for herself and her teenage daughter, Lily. There’s just one problem: the inn is already occupied—and some of its residents haven’t checked out in centuries.

The Weary Inn is home to a wildly mismatched collection of ghosts from across history, including a melancholy young woman from the 1940s, a bombastic 1850s snake-oil salesman, a fussy colonial-era cobbler, a cranky Irish banshee, and a glamorous personality from the Roaring Twenties.

As Jo tries to make a success of her new business, a colorful assortment of guests arrives, including a famous travel blogger, enthusiastic ghost hunters, skeptics, and a flamboyant medium. Before long, the living and the dead collide in a supernatural comedy filled with misunderstandings, mayhem, and more spirits than one old inn can reasonably handle.

(Too) Many Ghosts by Todd Wallinger is a lively ensemble comedy packed with quirky characters, supernatural shenanigans, and plenty of laughs. It’s a hauntingly fun night at the theatre for the whole family.

Cast:
Jo — Adult. The level-headed new owner of the Weary Inn and Lily’s mother. Practical, determined, and sometimes stubborn.

Lily — Teen. Jo’s daughter. Lonely and adjusting to a new life at the inn, with a love for horror movies.

Ernie — Adult. The inn’s folksy, helpful handyman. Friendly and dependable—perhaps a little too good to be true.

The Ghosts

Sophie — About 19. A melancholy and somewhat uncoordinated young woman from the 1940s.

Barney — Adult. A playful, larger-than-life poltergeist and former 1850s snake-oil salesman. Bombastic and mischievous.

Roland — Adult. A fussy, uptight cobbler from the 1790s.

Orla — Adult. A cranky Irish banshee from the 1690s with plenty of personality.

Cassandra — Adult. A glamorous, self-absorbed film personality from the 1920s.

Hal — Young adult. An amiable American G.I. from the 1940s and Sophie’s beau.

The Guests
