Elsewhere in the McCray Theatre

Behind the closed door of a long-abandoned house, a dare becomes a threshold—and a Middle School ensemble becomes the storyteller.

This year’s production, ‘Elsewhere’, (directed by Trent Williams) invites us into a boarding school in New Hampshire where the former headmaster’s home has sat empty for decades—sealed up after the disappearance of his son and whispered about ever since. When four students step inside, they don’t find ghosts or ghouls. They find a doorway.

On the other side is ‘Elsewhere’: a shimmering “utopia” that feels like an escape hatch from real life—until it doesn’t. The longer the friends stay, the more the dream world tightens its grip, bending wonder into unease and turning fantasy into a test of courage. To make it back, they must navigate their darkest nightmares—and discover what it means to hold on to one another when everything familiar starts to slip away.
