SYNOPSIS:

Dreadful Episodes is a hilarious and virtuosic theatrical collage adorned with live music and physical comedy, inspired by the illustrations of Edward Gorey, Victorian reverie, ill-fated romance, calamitous croquet, and the dangers of windy cliffs.

These dark comedic vignettes include precocious children, a séance, and other fancies that will transport you to a world where unseen dangers cause laughter. Join us this autumn when the veil is thin to enjoy all things witty and macabre.



Directed by Mark Jaster and Sabrina Mandell

Cast includes Stephanie Baird, Gwen Grastorf, Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell, James Owens, Sarah Olmsted Thomas
