Education Theatre Programming Performances
Emerald Coast Theatre Company’s High School theatre program presents The Edgar Allan Poe Afterlife Radio Show on Friday, October 28th, 7:30 pm and Saturday, October 29th, 2:30 pm. A tap at a chamber door and the beat of a hideous heart evoke the very best and creepiest of Edgar Allan Poe. So when Poe sets out to keep his stories alive from beyond the grave, an otherworldly radio studio proves just the thing. Wandering spirits gather to play the roles in Poe’s most classic works, from “The Cask of the Amontillado” to “The Fall of the House of Usher.” The production will feature the talents of Walker Rivard, Mattie Livingston, Savannah Herndon, Alexander Koehler, Carly Parker, Alexa Whitten, Ethan Craig, Olivia Volquartsen, Jaydin Baine, and Selah Metzger. Tickets are $12 – $18 and available at emeraldcoasttheatre.org.
