Simmons says you don't necessarily have to believe in afterlife communication to enjoy the play.
The subject is a little hard for some people to believe, but Simmons says he's not there to evangelize viewers, but rather hopes that they walk away "with a great story and the possibility these things do exist."

At every performance, Simmons has lined up guest speakers to talk about their own experiences with the paranormal to fully explore the subject. For the first show on Jan. 14, he had Huntington residents Author Kerriann Flanagan Brosky (author of Ghosts of Long Island and Huntington Patch Blogger) and Medium Richard Schoeller talked about their experiences as well.
