Dave Malloy’s quirky and wondrous ghost story musical is as life-affirming as it is astounding. The piece is author-described as “a song cycle about love, death, and whiskey” in which “a camera breaks and four friends drink in four interwoven narratives spanning seven centuries.”

Audiences won’t want to miss this stunning musical from the creator whose work has recently delighted Bay Area audiences at Berkeley Rep (Octet) and Shotgun Players (Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812). Ghost Quartet is considered Malloy’s most enchanting work.

In partnership with Oakland Theater Project, this production will be performed at 7:30 PM [Thursday|Friday|Saturday] and 2:00 PM on Sunday.
