The Tell-Tale Heart

The Tell-Tale Heart provides audience members with an entirely new, visceral, thought-provoking, and haunting theatrical experience like never before.Tickets will become available at 1pm on Saturday, February 21st. The production will last approximately one hour. The audience will remain standing for the duration of the event, and is encouraged to move around the space. Note that fog effects will be used.
