IN THE SLUSH by Daniel Prillaman

July 18, 19 24, 25, 26th at 8pm

GATHER BY THE GHOST LIGHT presents the WORLD PREMIERE of…
IN THE SLUSH by Daniel Prillaman.

Newlywed Laura Beth Gardner has it all. A loving husband, a baby on the way, and a usually delightful job. But this weekend, tasked with reading through her publishing house’s slush pile, she encounters a mysterious manuscript that claims she isn’t human. That her husband isn’t who he says he is. And that she’s a vessel for her unborn child, who is actually the Second Coming of an ancient darkness that will devour the world. It has to be some sort of joke. …But what if it’s not?

A cosmic horror about identity, creation, and things we’ll do to realize our dreams.

Directed by Jonathan Cook & Devon McSherry
Starring Korilyn Hendricks, Karla Daly, TJ Reissner, and Brad King
