The Midnight Theater

An abandoned theater suddenly lights up every midnight despite having no electricity. A struggling actor sneaks inside and discovers ghostly performances reenacting real tragedies from the city’s past. The audience consists entirely of shadowy figures wearing masks. The theater manager offers the actor a chance at fame in exchange for staying until the final act. As rehearsals continue, the actor realizes each performance drains life from the cast members. The story should blend supernatural horror with psychological drama.
