Actress Michele LaRue will perform two American tales of suspense. Written in the days of ominously flickering candles and kerosene lamps, “The Shadows on the Wall” and “The House that Was Not” continue to startle.

In the wake of a sudden mysterious death, “The Shadows on the Wall” gathers four siblings in a familiar but threatening New England parlor. “The House that Was Not” lures an unsuspecting new bride across the Nebraska prairie. Authored by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1903) and Elia Wilkinson Peattie (1898), respectively, these tales evoke the America of a century ago, enthralling audiences today. Come and enjoy being spooked by these dark tales.
