“In the universe, there are things that are known,

and things that are unknown,
and in between them, there are doors.”

One crappy diner.
Three lovesick Civil War ghosts.
And one short order poet named Robbi who's havin' none of it.

The Details

5 actors • 9 characters • 1 simple set • 75 minute run time

Set in a haunted diner in John Brown’s Harpers Ferry, split between 1864 and 2025,
the play follows Robbi, a 20-year-old cook and aspiring poet desperate to escape.

But three ghostly soldiers—Black, White, and four-spirit Cherokee, each in love with her—
won’t let her go. Reborn in her present life, they bind Robbi to the past she’s fighting to outrun.
