Kelowna Fringe Preview: Screamish

Paranormal comedy pays homage to the supernatural genre.

The Kelowna International Fringe Festival is back, and Kelowna10 is swinging by local rehearsals to give you a glimpse of what to expect and decide what you might want to see.

Screamish

Written by Erin Hazlehurst, this comedy follows two paranormal investigators who don’t really believe in ghosts, find a haunted theatre only to realize it’s actually haunted.

What is the inspiration behind the performance?

“There are so many ghost hunting shows out there right now that are really fun and over the top, and we wanted to have some fun doing something like that. Fun and over the top,” Hazlehurst said.

Why should people see it?

“It’s fun. We had two hard years of all sorts of awful things happening in the world, and we really need to have some fun and it’s fun to be scared every once and a while,” Hazlehurst said.

When: Sep. 1 at 1 p.m., Sep 2. at 9 p.m., Sep. 3 at 3 p.m. & 7 p.m., Sep. 4 at 3 p.m. Tickets are available online or at the door.
