SUMMARY​

The kids from Juniper, Texas, from the play “Skunks,” get together the summer after Sam moves to go camping.  Joined by their new friend Davy, from the play “I Hate Clowns,” who has just moved to Juniper from California, they gather around the campfire to tell the story of Old Man Johnson, the infamous ghost of Juniper.

SETTING

​The play takes place at a campsite in the forest bordering the little town of Juniper, Texas; it’s no place special, just an ordinary little town in the early 1980s, the summer after Sam moved to Fort Worth (at the end of “Skunks”).  The set only needs a couple of pop-up tents and a little campfire, maybe some blankets.
