About the Play: Ernie’s Diner is located right off the exit for I-55 several dozen miles south of St. Louis. It exists in a state of limbo between the living and the dead. When the sun is up, it’s just a regular diner for truckers, farmers, and other blue-collar folk. When the sun is down, it becomes a gateway to Hell. There’s also a secret menu item: the Ghost Burger. You can only see it if you’ve been cursed by some supernatural being, not of this world. For years, Ernie has used the Ghost Burger to help people overcome their supernatural problems. Now his young protégé Zayne carries on his legacy, except he has his own agenda with the Ghost Burger. He’s got a supernatural problem himself involving some entity called the Lonely Man, and he’s been using the Ghost Burger to ask people if they know anything about it. One day, a woman named Stacey walks in to the diner and tells Zayne she’s been cursed by the Lonely Man too just last week. Who is the Lonely Man? How did Zayne and Stacey get cursed? What the hell is a Ghost Burger? Find out in this mysterious and surreal horror comedy play.

Content Warning: Ghost Burger serves up a full plate of adult language, intense violence, blood and gore, self-harm, references to suicide, sexual assault, addiction, and abuse. It's definitely not a kid's meal, so viewer discretion is advised. Ghost Burger is not suitable for children—consider this your heads-up before devouring Ghost Burger.
