Strange Creatures. Eerie Instincts.    Unnatural Encounters.

In this original theatrical presentation, the eerie elegance of Alfred Hitchcock meets the unsettling twists of The Twilight Zone. Told in the haunting glow of candlelight*, Gothic Animal Tales explores humanity’s deep—and often disturbing—connection to the animal world.

From the 19th to the mid-20th century, these suspenseful stories by Harriett Prescott Spofford, Daphne Du Maurier, and Lilian Jackson Braun reveal a wilder side of gothic literature—where animals are not just companions or background, but harbingers, predators, and mirrors of our own darkest instincts.

An evening of uncanny tales where nature watches... and waits.

Perfect for fans of literary suspense, vintage horror,

and thought-provoking storytelling.

 Where the Supernatural Meets the Psyche

Some of the most imaginative and boundary-pushing ghost stories of the 20th century were written by women. In this (electrical) candlelit theatrical event, experience haunting tales that blend old-fashioned specters with speculative twists—exploring time, memory, and human consciousness.

Gothic Ghost Tales by Candlelight features chilling and thought-provoking stories from early to mid-20th century by Rose Macaulay, Agatha Christie, and Virginia Layefsky. These writers reimagined the ghost story, fusing traditional Gothic elements with emerging ideas from science and psychology to create a more modern, mind-bending take on the supernatural.

Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald is often remembered as the “crazy wife” of F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby. As one half of the Golden Couple of the 1920s, she was a dazzling icon of the Jazz Age and the inspiration behind many of Fitzgerald’s flapper heroines.

But before she became Zelda Fitzgerald, she was Zelda Sayre—the flamboyant belle of Montgomery, Alabama. The daughter of a prominent judge and an artistic mother, Zelda was notorious for her bold personality and unconventional antics. Her larger-than-life persona captivated the public both before and after her marriage, becoming the stuff of legend.  

Though celebrated in her time, Zelda was far more than a glittering party girl or muse. She was a deeply creative and complex woman who struggled with schizophrenia for much of her life. She was also a devoted mother, an accomplished ballet dancer, a published writer, and a visual artist whose work was exhibited during her lifetime.

This original play pays tribute to Zelda as she truly was: a vibrant, misunderstood woman striving to define herself beyond the myths.

Appropriate for mature teens and up.

Born Salamah bint Said, Princess of Zanzibar, in 1844, Emily Reute's life was one of extraordinary contrasts. Raised in a royal harem among dozens of siblings, she lived in a world of opulence sustained by the lucrative trade in ivory, spices—and enslaved people. Despite her cloistered upbringing, the young princess often ventured beyond the palace walls into the city streets and surrounding plantations, where she witnessed the increasing presence of European missionaries, traders, and colonists.

It was during these excursions that she met Rudolph Reute, a German merchant. In a bold and controversial move, she eloped with him to Germany, where she later converted to Christianity and adopted the name Emily Reute. Living in Europe gave her a unique vantage point from which to compare the roles and expectations of women in Muslim and Western societies.

Originally published in 1886, her memoir has now been adapted for the stage by Waterfall Productions. In this compelling theatrical presentation, audiences will meet Princess Salamah/Emily Reute and journey through her remarkable life—as a royal daughter, daring outcast, devoted wife, grieving widow, and resilient mother—set against the backdrops of Zanzibar and Germany.

printed programs for audience and talk-back afterwards.

Ages 12 & up.
