Student Narrative
The Haunting of Lewisville is an interactive paper theatre that stages a supernatural mystery in a rural New England town. I drew on my childhood fascination with vintage paper dolls and dollhouses to create it. The book unfolds into four acts and features a cast of characters and costume changes. The audience is invited to bring the scenes to life by imagining the cast's personalities and circumstances and then acting out the narrative in childlike play.
