Mystic Conversations

Julia Barry Bell explores the sixth sense (and, perhaps, The Sixth Sense) in a paranormal family drama about a mother who comes to believe that 10-year-old son can see dead people—inspired, the playwright says, by real events. The cast includes Jenny Strassburg and Brandon Jones as the parents, Appropriate's Lincoln Cohen as the kid and stage vet Brenda Braxton as the psychic who guides them into ESP enlightenment.
