Are you ready to get spooked on the eve of Halloween? Join us for Friday Fright Night: a series of virtual readings of three of literature’s creepiest stories: The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, and The Petting Zoo by Peter de Niverville.

The Tell-Tale Heart introduces an unnamed narrator who endeavors to convince the reader of the their sanity while simultaneously describing a murder that they committed. The Most Dangerous Game chronicles a hunter from New York City who falls off a yacht and swims to what seems to be an abandoned island in the Caribbean, where he is invited by a Russian aristocrat to join in the hunt for singularly exotic big game. The Petting Zoo features a spider obsessed protagonist — a man who has been gathering ants in a jar from a nest since childhood — dropping the wriggling insects into the web one by one.

Performances will be streamed to audiences live from the performers’ homes on Friday, October 30th at 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Tickets available at https://www.onthestage.com/show/pacifica-spindrift-players/friday-fright-night-39957/. 

Prepare for a spine-tingling night!
