Opens April 6th, 2006

45th Street Theatre (354 W. 45th St.)

DREAD AWAKENING brings together four up-and-coming playwrights – Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Based on a Totally True Story at MTC, The Mystery Plays), Clay McLeod Chapman (The Pumpkin Pie Show), Eric Sanders (It's a Dry Heat), and Justin Swain (Bump) – and pairs them up with the emerging directors Arin Arbus (Third Floor, Second Door on the Right), Amanda Charlton (The Witching Hour), Jessica Davis-Irons (Superpowers), and Pat Diamond (The Mystery Plays) to present four unique tales of terror.

In these four new plays, you will meet a boyfriend who refuses to reveal his true face, a dead best friend who won't stay dead, a professional who grows unnaturally obsessed with one of his clients, and a young couple experiencing horrific events in a car on a deserted highway...
