Write a commentA Haunted Storytelling Duet Through Madness
For the past few years, Great Northern Artists Collaborative (GNAC) has performed their own versions of Phantasmagoria’s works “Tales by Candlelight” and “A Christmas Carol and The Canterville Ghost” to sold out houses. Now GNAC is proud to be bringing to Central New York guest artists “Byron”, the creator of Phantasmagoria from Florida, as well as “Carlotta” from St. Louis to both perform in a tapestry of Poe Stories, “Poe, Through The Tales Darkly”
From the haunted stirrings of "The Raven" to the sheer terror of "The Tell Tale Heart". . . and from the obsessively plotted revenge of “The Casque of Amontillado" to the bittersweet and lovely longing of "Annabel Lee", along with a selection of other whimsical, macabre, and terrifying stories and poems, GNAC invites you to celebrate an evening of Poe's works.
“We’re excited to host the acclaimed Victorian Horror troupe PHANTASMAGORIA on the GNAC stage as they bring to life the tales and poetry of Edgar Allan Poe through their evocative storytelling,” said GNAC Artistic Director Derek Potocki.
With its own unique and spectacular blend of storytelling, dance, ensemble work, large scale puppetry, aerial work, fire performance, side show entertainments and stage combat, Phantasmagoria has been wowing critics and audiences alike since its premier. Now in its 15th year of production, Phantasmagoria’s main stage and touring productions offer stories taken from century’s old literature of horror and the macabre, folklore, and legend, while their appearances and special events charm with a professional variety of circus, sideshow and theatrical flair!
Phantasmagoria’s “Poe, Through The Tales Darkly” will run for two shows only, Friday, July 18th and Saturday, July 19th at 7:30 p.m. at the GNAC Theatre, 8396 Morgan Road in Clay. Each performance will include a Post Show Talkback with the actors.
There is a limited amount of seats available for these performances. Tickets are $20.00 for general admission and $15.00 for students and seniors. Tickets are available now at www.greatnorthernarts.com, and will also be available at the door. See you there…if you dare!
