Charles Ludlam’s THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP: A Penny Dreadful
Written by Charles Ludlam
Directed by Michael Walkup
June 30th, 2009 – July 18th, 2009

Can true love conquer werewolves, vampires, mummies and old maids?

There is plenty for Lady Enid to adjust to in her new home at Mandacrest Manor including the watchful eye of a jealous maid, the peg-legged groundskeeper who stays on the hunt for werewolves, a frightening collection of ancient artifacts and the looming presence of her husband’s first wife, Irma Vep, whose haunting portrait hangs on the wall.

Two actors play a parade of ridiculous characters in Charles Ludlam’s hilarious, fast-paced, gothic farce.

Fly by Night: A New Musical
Directed by: Eric Pearson

Who has the power when the lights go out?
