Empowering Young Artists
Come See Our Fall Shows!
Description: In Poe-Treehouse Tales, a group of curious kids stumbles into a spooky treehouse and unlocks the eerie (and silly!) world of Edgar Allan Poe. With creepy classics like "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Raven," this frightfully fun show brings Poe’s tales to life—with just the right mix of chills and giggles!
Description: A hunt for horror finds four friends at the Museum of the Macabre…a wax museum displaying scenes from short stories by great authors of Gothic Horror like Poe, Hawthorne, and Irving. But as unnerving as the exhibits - and the stories behind them - are…the real terror for the fearless four comes when the exhibits start to come to life!
After the performance, guest are encouraged to visit the museum to be haunted by the characters!

Description: The players at The Murder Mystery Playhouse are rehearsing a new show, Putting a Little English on It. It’s a not-so-good attempt at a British murder mystery, complete with cheesy dramatic music and British accents. As expected at the final dress rehearsal, the lights go out and a character dies onstage — only this murder wasn’t in the script! The authorities are quickly called, and soon the company finds themselves replaying the death scene. When yet another person dies at the end of the same scene, the cast finds themselves replaying the same scene over and over for other investigators, a theatre critic, and even the playwright himself! The actors are left scratching their heads at the strange circumstances and also worried that they could be next.
