ON BROADWAY THE CALAMITYVILLE TERROR The first of two all school plays, The Calamityville Terror, was presented on two consecutive weekends, October 22, 23 and Oc- tober 29, 30, 1982. Written by William Gleason, this play is a comedy -mystery about a haunted house into which Mrs. Stowe is moving her small private school. The house is filled with unknown mystery, shocking sur- prise, and ultimate terror. As more and more frightening things happen, Mrs. Stowe tries to leave but finds that she cannot; not until she uncovers the mystery of Elsie, a crazy girl who was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Barclay. The Barclays were murdered by Olin Barclay, their son, so he could sell the old house for a lot of money, but Elsie Barclay stood in his way. Olin tried to convince Elsie that she killed their parents. At first, Elsie believed him and she went insane. Later, the truth came out and Olin tried to kill Elsie, but in the end Olin was the one who died by the deadly grasp of Adam Barclay ' s ghost. The play was directed by Mr. Thomas Nealeigh.
