Wicked Literature

Halloween and scary stories are not just for children. On Thursday, October 30 at 7 pm, we encourage high school students and adults to join us at the library for this program presented by a new theatre group, Nom de Guerre Theatre Guild. They have created new adaptations for the stage from classic literature in the thriller genre, drawing from the likes of Poe, Stevenson, and Irving. Actors will be seated in the room and reading from the scripts. The plays will still be in development, so the goal is to have the playwrights “hear” the plays, and gauge community interest and reaction. After the readings there will be a quick Q & A to field questions about the plays, source material, and vision for a planned festival in 2009. This is a great opportunity to have input in this new and evolving program.
