Shades of Poe
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Type: Theater
Fractured Mirror Productions is casting for our 2015 production of “Shades of Poe”.
Seeking men and women to perform dramatic presentations of six of Poe’s most famous works in an historic house. The show is unique because the audience moves throughout the house to see the stories, while the actors remain stationary.
The works presented are complete, with minor trimming for time. The monologues range from 6-12 minutes in length. To understand the presentation style, we recommend you refer to YouTube videos of Vincent Price performing “The Tell Tale Heart” or “The Raven”.
Show dates:
Daytime school shows: October 14 & 21
Evenings (7pm and 9pm) October 15-17, 22-24, and 29-31.
Potential added date: October 28, 7pm and 9pm.
