"The Ghost Lectures" by Kenton D. Baird

The Ghost Lectures, an original play penned by Kenton D. Baird, is poised to captivate audiences with its haunting blend of intellectual intrigue and spectral resonance. Slated for it's October 2025 premiere in Woodward at the Historic Arts Theatre in conjunction with OnStage Woodward, this production leverages the crisp, shadowy ambiance of the fall season to immerse theatergoers in a world where the past speaks, the present listens, and the unseen looms large. As the director and producer, my vision is to craft an evocative, thought-provoking experience that balances atmospheric storytelling with dynamic staging, as a simple lecture concerning the paranormal goes awry.
The Ghost Lectures is steeped in mystery, exploring themes of memory, legacy, and the supernatural intersecting with the academic and philosophical. As director, I envision a production that leans into these elements, creating a sensory experience that feels both cerebral and chilling, perfect for October’s moody, introspective vibe. The play’s “ghosts” will serve as conduits for emotional and intellectual weight, their presence amplified through innovative staging, lighting, and sound design.
**PRODUCTION INCLUDES FLASHING LIGHTS AND LOUD NOISES***
