January 12th - February 3rd, 2018 | See Times Here
Edgar Allan Poe is just coming off the success of “The Raven”. So a wealthy dowager commissions him to write her a poem for a vast sum. Only problem: the man who shows up to write the poem isn’t Poe, he’s Poe’s mailman, and he’s on a quest to woo the dowager’s spinster niece. This is a freewheeling, door-slamming farce with a touch of the macabre. More info here!

Ok, the Fellowship is fragmented. Don’t panic, Precious! Frodo and Sam are tougher than they look. Theodin, on the other hand, needs a good kick in the pants to get moving against Saruman’s army.

Keep an eye on Golum, though. He’s pretty tricksy and false. More info here!
