A Halloween Treat!

Three years ago today we wrapped up our FIRESIDE GOTHICS series. This series of 13 spooky tales was read by some of our wonderful local actors and presented on Facebook using the virtual tools at our disposal. We coupled gothic horror with fireside vibes and tremendous artwork. From Count Magnus to The Ebony Frame, Hawthorne to Poe, our actors provided a chilling retelling of these classics.
