Clague Playhouse, 1371 Clague Road,
Westlake, will present Arnold Ridley’s classic comedy thriller The Ghost Train as the first production
of its 88th season.
A
group of passengers are left stranded at a New England train station in 1926.

commuters try to come to grips with the impending doom settling in around them.
The
Ghost Train is directed by Ron Newell. The cast includes Katie Atkinson, Jean
Cummins, Mike Kunikis, Mark Mayo, Regis McGann, Kate Miller, Alex Nalbach,
