THE EDGAR ALLAN POE FESTIVAL to Run 5/19-6/11

Enter into the darkness of the 160 yrs old St. John's Sanctuary where, lit by flickering candlelight, the critically acclaimed Radiotheatre, now in its 12th Year, presents 16 terror tales guaranteed to chill the marrow in your bones! It is said that when the Grandmaster Of Psychological Horror, himself...Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49)... lived in old Greenwich Village, he penned some of his most famous works. What better location than the landmarked St. John's Sanctuary for award-winning Radiotheatre to bring alive these horrifying creations that have gone on to inspire millions of writers, artists, filmmakers and horror lovers of all ages and cultures? As always, our Radiotheatre production comes complete with its stellar cast, original orchestral scores and a plethora of sound FX unlike anything else on any stage! Just bring your imagination!
