Jr. Redhound Theatre presenting ‘frightful comedy’ this Thursday (Nov. 16) – Saturday (Nov. 18)

Edgar Allan Poe, legendary master of horror, is hosting an evening of terrifying tales… or so he plans. What he doesn’t anticipate is the Raven, the beguiling bird from his most famous work, showing up and making a mockery of the entire show.

Twisting the play into more of a comedy rather than the serious horror that Poe was hoping for, what follows is an evening that will leave the audience in stitches, for better or for worse!

Edgar Allan Poe’s Nightmare Theatre: A Frightful Comedy was originally written for and performed by Corbin Junior Redhound Theatre in 2017, and has since gone on to win Poe Fest International’s Saturday Visiter Award, which commemorates creators inspired by Poe’s life and works.

Showtimes are Nov. 16, 17 and 18 starting at 7 p.m. in the Corbin Middle School gym. Tickets are $5 a person.
