In this live episode, Cody and Chris help raise money for Laughing Pig Theatre by sharing famous (and some not-so-famous) theatre hauntings. In his first story, Cody talks about the infamous ghost that inspired the uber famous musical, The Phantom of the Opera. Then, Chris brings it local and discusses the ghosts – including a cute purring cat – that inhabit the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix. Next, Cody talks about Soul Invictus, a local “haunt” (where Chris actually performed) that housed a ghost that messed with props. Finally, Chris tells about the spirits in what is said to be the most haunted theatre in the world: Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Creep of the Week takes us to a haunted theatre in Torrington, Connecticut. This week’s drinks are Prince Ali’s Fabulous Tea, and Odd Lot red wine.
