Tomes of Terror: Nevermore

Performances: October 24, 25, 29, 30, and 31 and November 1, 2014.
There’s one due date you can never escape! —The Librarian

The Post-Meridian Radio Players are bringing one of America's most respected authors to our stage this Hallowe’en as we present Tomes of Terror: Nevermore.

Three tales of Edgar Allan Poe will grace our stage—and your ears—this Fall, including adaptations of his classic stories The Cask of Amontillado and The Fall of the House of Usher. And we’ve got a little extra treat as well to set the mood!



You can buy a copy of this performance from our Bandcamp storefront!
