Modern Gothic

Everybody wants something.
Pretty co-ed Casia Winfred wants a loving relationship with her boyfriend, but her boyfriend is more interested in making a college frat pay for what it did to his mentally ill brother. 
Casia's mother wants to control Casia's life - from beyond the grave. An eccentric English Lit professor wants to keep Casia and all others away from an abandoned theater called the Chapel Playhouse. And after having a frightening premonition, psychic medium Mickey McCoy wants to figure out what all this adds up to and save Casia's life.

Chapel Playhouse is a modern gothic tale filled with twists and turns. It involves a haunted theatre, but there's nothing typical about it. Just as you think you've figured things out, along comes another surprise.
