The door to Wardrobe opens into the fantasy world of Narnia – leading us into the unknown to discover the wonderful truth of who we are.

The “Haunting of Hill House” is a “chilling and mystifying study in mounting terror in which a small group of ‘psychically receptive’ people are brought together in Hill House, a brooding, mid-Victorian mansion known as a place of evil and ‘contained ill will.’ Led by the learned Dr. Montague, who is conducting research in supernatural phenomena, the visitors have come to probe the secrets of the old house and to draw forth the mysterious powers that it is alleged to possess—powers which have brought madness and death to those who have lived therein in the past.” – Dramatists Play Service
