Book The Poe Show for Fall 2024!
Two actors and their stage manager have been invited by your school to make a presentation for the student body. The goal of the presentation is to make the work of Edgar Allan Poe “come alive” for the students. But when a mysterious stranger arrives the actors are left wondering who is this stranger and why does he have such an investment in making sure that the works of Poe are treated with dignity and respect? How will he help our actors understand the power of his work? Will the stage manager ever get the actors back in the van and on the road to the next show? Find out in The Poe Show

Virtual Tours
The Mightier Sword
-
The Mightier Sword is an interactive experience, allowing students to navigate through the scenes and make selections that will allow them to acquire achievement badges that will eventually unlock the "treasure of knowledge". Meet five American writers who are women: Emily Dickenson, Sylvia Plath, Estela Portillo Trambley, Dorothy Parker and Maya Angelou. Learn about their lives, their writing and how they used their pen (the mightier sword) to change their own world.
This production will be available online free of charge to schools!
The Shakespeare Show
-
The three actors who love Shakespeare’s plays have prepared a presentation that will introduce all of his major tragedies to the student body - sword fights, dramatic deaths, and all! This Shakespearian extravaganza will take about…8 hours. But with only 45 minutes on the clock, the actors will need to make some cuts. What should they focus on? The plots to overthrow regency? The greatest fights of all time? Or the epic death scenes? Excited by the challenge, the actors piece together a show that covers this great playwright’s tragedies in the funniest and fastest way possible.
