CHENEY – The StageWest Community Theater presents “It Was a Dark and Stormy Night,” a play about Ye Olde Wayside Inn in Massachusetts, which is run by an eccentric family and haunted by the ghost of a soldier who deserted at Valley Forge.

When strangers seek shelter at the inn the killing times begin – who will survive the stormy night?
