If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

NIGHTFALL WITH EDGAR ALLEN POE - South Mountain Community Theatre - September 16-17, 2022

Edgar Allan Poe stands alone in the flickering darkness of his mind, trying desperately to convince himself -- and us -- that he's not mad. The spell he weaves brings us a highly theatrical adaptation of four tales Poe himself considered his best: "The Raven," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Pit and the Pendulum," and "The Tell-Tale Heart." Enter the world of Poe and check your heartbeat at the door.

INTO THE WOODS, JR - South Mountain Community Theatre - July 1-2, 2022

Be careful what you wish for, as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical. Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.

The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse, and wind up changed forever.

 

Performances are Friday, July 1st at 6 pm and Saturday, July 2nd at 3 pm (understudy show) and 6 pm.

Synopsis
Floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” – after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-on-his-luck Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it…BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out-of-this-world origins and its intent toward global domination!

THE PLANT (AUDREY TWO): This will be a puppeteer (or multiple puppeteers) who will operate the four versions of this increasingly growing plant. The largest puppet requires some physical strength and stamina.
