Sisbarro Acting Studio

The Sisbarro Acting Studio has recently announced its fifth production, “Ghost in the Typewriter,” for the holiday season. Owner and Director Gina Sisbarro felt that 2020 needed to end on a happy, magical note for islanders. Therefore, she moved her normal spring production over to the holiday season at the Marco Island Charter Middle School. 

The year is 1954, and successful crime novelist Oliver Townsend wants to take a crack at writing a romance novel under a pen name. Oliver does not have the heart or experience to change over his genre from crime to romance. His sister surprises him with a 1923 Royal Typewriter for Christmas hoping it will inspire him.  

Charlie Manning is the ghost that is attached to the typewriter and reveals himself only to Oliver. Charlie has the greatest love story to tell, however, there is a problem. Charlie needs a happy ending and he needs Oliver to help him write it. “The Ghost in the Typewriter” is a tender, forbidden romantic comedy centered on the author, the ghost, a beautiful ballerina from Russia, and an egotistical owner Roger Ingram of the Ingram Theater in New York City. 

No worries regarding the safety of patrons. Before each performance, the theater will be sprayed and disinfected. Masks will be required for entry and appropriate spacing will be set up between groups of two-three. 

The show has two evening performances on December 17 and 18 at 7 PM. Doors open at 6:30 PM. There are two matinees scheduled on December 19 and 20 from 2 PM. Doors open at 1:30 PM. Tickets are $25 for adults. Student tickets are sold for only $10 at the door. Tickets may be purchased online through our website at www.sisbarroactingstudio.com, or Marco Office Supply Retail Store located at 571 Bald Eagle Drive.
