Welcome Home (2018)

Katherine Orozco-Verderber’s in-the-dark play “Welcome Home” tells the tale of a spirit scorned in an empty house. Four friends camp out at a house in the woods when suspicious activity begins to happen. The friends begin to turn on one another and blood was spilled.

Performance dates were October 15, 16, and 17, 2018 in the Blue Room in Sam Fore Hall on the TAMUK campus. Doors opened at 7:30 and at 8:00, audiences were locked in the “house” with the actors until the very end.
