“The Horn,” a staged reading

Batten down the hatches! “The Horn” is coming to Chapel Street Players on May 2nd and 3rd. This will be a staged reading, followed by a talkback, of a brand new play that is a gothic horror on a ship. And yes, there will be plenty of sea shanties to go around. See a short description below: Irish Captain Reeve just wants to make it safely around Cape Horn, but ghosts of his failed past continue to torment him. He must push his haunts behind him, lest he doom his cursed crew. We look forward to seeing you the first weekend of May. But beware! The sounds of the ocean toll different at night . . .

Headline: ⚓️ Years in development… a new haunting arrives at CSP.

Batten down the hatches! After years of refinement, “The Horn” is finally ready for its first public reading on May 2nd and 3rd.

This is an immersive dive into the psychological toll of the high seas. Expect:

• 🎶 Rhythmic Sea Shanties: The heartbeat of a crew battling the waves.

• 🕯️ Gothic Horror: A “cabin fever” thriller where the ghosts of the past are as real as the storms outside.

• 🧠 A Creative Inside Look: This staged reading is the final “stress test” before the play’s World Premiere at CSP.

Why we need you: A script only truly comes to life when an audience hears it. Your reactions and your feedback during our post-show talkback will help us navigate the final path to production.

Come help us bring a new classic to life. But beware… the sounds of the ocean toll different at night. 🌊
