A radio drama event. This year, we treat audiences to two tales by the great Edgar Allen Poe, in an evening we’re calling POE-SESSED. Playwright-in-residence Catie O’Keefe, fresh off rave reviews for her Fringe show DARKER, crafts adaptations of Poe’s THE OVAL PORTRAIT and THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH. Complete with live sound effects and the atmosphere of an old-time radio theatre, New Edgecliff will bring to life these dark, gritty and wonderfully gruesome tales.

REASONS TO BE PRETTY by Neal LaBute
Directed by Mark Seamon
April 12-28
This darkly romantic drama follows two couples as they navigate the conflicting loyalties of love and friendship.

Time Magazine calls the play “tight, tense and emotionally true, and it portrays characters who actually seem part of the world that the rest of us live in.”
The company returns to the Columbia Performance Center, located at 3900 Eastern Avenue in Columbia-Tusculum. Tickets can be purchased online at www.newedgecliff.com, or reserved by calling the box office at 888.588.0137.
