Pullman High School Drama Club Brings Laughter and Ghostly Fun with Emily Brontë Teenage Ghost Hunter
The Pullman High School Drama Club is ready to bring the stage to life this November with their fall comedy Emily Brontë: Teenage Ghost Hunter, a witty and family-friendly play written by Don Zolidis. The performances will run over two weekends — November 6 to 8 and November 13 to 15 — offering audiences both 7:00 pm evening shows and 2:00 pm matinees.
Described as a delightful blend of classic literature and supernatural mystery, this production promises an experience that feels like Pride and Prejudice meets Scooby-Doo. It’s the kind of comedy that draws laughs rather than screams, making it perfect for all ages. Families, literature fans, and anyone who enjoys a touch of the supernatural can look forward to a lively evening full of charm, mischief, and ghostly encounters.
According to the official announcement on Pullman Radio, the play will take place in Pullman, Washington, with performances expected to be held at or near 415 N Grand Avenue, Pullman, WA 99163, a common local venue for community events. The Pullman High Drama Club has a strong tradition of producing engaging, well-executed shows, and this fall’s performance looks set to continue that reputation.
For those unfamiliar with the play, Emily Brontë: Teenage Ghost Hunter is one of Don Zolidis’s humorous works that reimagines a slice of literary history with a comic twist. Set in 1835 in the moors of Northern England, the story takes audiences to a mysterious boarding school where strange supernatural events begin to unfold. The young Brontë sisters — Emily, Charlotte, and Anne — join forces to uncover the cause of the haunting, using their quick wit and, unexpectedly, a bit of necromancy.
According to the publisher Playscripts, the play is filled with eccentric characters and delightfully absurd situations — including an undead goose, a lovesick ghost, and a talking meat pudding. It’s a gothic comedy that pokes fun at the tropes of classic English literature while still celebrating the creativity and intelligence of the Brontës. The production runs about 90 to 100 minutes, with a flexible cast of eight women and four men, though directors often expand the ensemble to include more students.
The Pullman High School Drama Club’s choice of this play highlights their knack for finding scripts that are both educational and entertaining. It gives students a chance to explore historical and literary figures while engaging in lighthearted theatrical storytelling. For the audience, it’s an opportunity to enjoy a smart, well-crafted comedy that balances wit, satire, and supernatural fun.
Those interested in attending can check the Pullman community calendar for listings and event details on Visit Pullman. Tickets are expected to be available through the school or at the venue before showtime.
So if you’re in or around Pullman this November and looking for something fun, fresh, and a little spooky without the scares, Emily Brontë: Teenage Ghost Hunter is a show worth catching. It’s a spirited blend of laughter, mystery, and literary charm — all brought to life by the talented young performers of Pullman High School.
