Cape Rep Theatre will continue its 2026 season with The Fall of the House of Usher, Gip Hoppe's adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe short story, running September 30 through October 25 in the company's Indoor Theater in Brewster, Massachusetts.
James P. Byrne will direct the production, which Cape Rep is mounting in honor of Hoppe, who recently passed away. His adaptation was previously presented by the company in 1990 and became an early hit for the theater.
