Stage Reviews : Annie Evans’ ‘Ghost Stories’ at West End Theater

Three young women sorting out their lifelong personal ghosts and conflicts around a camp fire in the woods doesn’t sound very dramatic. In the case of playwright Annie Evans’ one-act “Ghost Stories,” it isn’t.

Director Brittain Frye’s production, at the West End Theater, features a nice, dark forest set, but the dialogue is full of collegiate angst and self-importance, and the actresses (Winifred Freedman, Jill Haggard, and Leslie Elizabeth Harter) lack the presence and originality to fire up the show.

At 7446 Van Nuys Blvd., Van Nuys, Monday only, 8 p.m. Tickets: $10. (213) 650-2129.
