Do you have a memory that haunts you more than a ghost ever could?
The Midnight Chapters was produced in NYC in January 2023. This double bill theater event directed by Katherine Oostman tied together themes of memory, regret, and time travel (yes, you read that correctly).
The show, which featured “Monsters Are Made In The Minds of Men” by Ryan Bultrowicz and “The Truth About Whispers” by Katherine Oostman, took place January 20th, 21st, and 22nd at the Jeffrey and Paula Gural Theatre at the A.R.T./New York Theatres.
Monsters Are Made In The Minds Of Men
By Ryan M. Bultrowicz
Camila's father was a monster hunter. He spent his day's chasing after Bigfoot, the Chupacabra, and an array of other mythical beasts. But now he's dead and Camila and Liam, her boyfriend, are left to rummage through his monster- hunting arsenal.
The Truth About Whispers
By Katherine Oostman
Ro is an amateur time traveler. When a mysterious client by the name of “Gray” walks into her office and commissions her to adjust a memory from a New Year’s Eve Party past, Ro doesn’t think much of it. However, as she ventures deeper and deeper into Gray’s memories, she is confronted with increasing paradoxical happenings.
