Based on his fondness for ghost hunting shows, Brendan Ragotzy wrote “The Whistle Pig’s Revenge” during the COVID lockdown and created a filmed version at the time. Newly revived, it will be the final mainstage production of the 78th season of the Barn Theatre, running Oct 11-20.

Cara Lieurance speaks with writer/director Brandon Ragozy and actor Luke Ragotzy, who explain that the play follows a group of ghost hunters navigating supernatural encounters at an old stagecoach stop. Luke, who plays one of the paranormal investigators, promises plenty of laughs and spooky fun.
