    Blight Christmas 2022 - Part 13

    13 - CHRISTMAS SPIRIT: THE GHOST YOU WANT TO HAUNT YOU “Christmas Spirit: The Ghost You Want To Haunt You” Written by Nissa Nordland Morgan Performed by Nissa Nordland Morgan, Zach Morgan, and Taj Ruler Sometimes ghosts are terrifying. But other times, they are a wish fulfilled. Special When Lit unapologetically pushes the boundaries of storytelling, finding a universal humanity in the weird, the extraordinary and the supernatural. We particularly enjoy using spectacle, blood and emboldened sexuality to create a visceral experience for the audience. Founder, Nissa Nordland Morgan, wrote plays The Fae and Incarnate, both performed at the Twin Cities Horror Festival. Nordland also wrote the audio horror Nisse-Natten, which was a part of Blight Christmas and received praise from the judges of the Atlanta Fringe Audio Festival. She was awarded the TC Arts Reader Critic’s Choice Award and won the Theatre in the Round Venue Pick for her play Xena and Gabrielle Smash the Patriarchy. Nordland is an alum of the Brave New Workshop Comedy Theatre, a member of the Playwright Cabal, company member of Theatre Pro Rata, and the Artistic Director of the Twin Cities Horror Festival.
