Overview
By Casey Rauch
Directed by Cecile Storm & Talley Wilford
This Halloween, step into the dark, twisted world of Stage Fright, where the lines between reality and delusion blur in an unforgettable, immersive theater experience. Set in 1997, 95-year-old Lou Baker, a man tormented by a violent past and haunted by spectral figures, faces release from a psychiatric institution after more than thirty years.
Prepare to be captivated by this macabre and unsettling tale of unresolved mysteries, dark humor, and the chilling confrontation between past and present. Stage Fright: Curtain Call is not just a play—it’s an experience that will leave you questioning the boundaries of sanity and the haunting echoes of a life gone terribly wrong.
A Streetcar Named Desire is presented by Arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. on behalf of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. This program is funded in part by Talbot Arts with revenues provided by the Maryland State Arts Council and the governments of Talbot County, Easton, Oxford and St. Michaels.
The Trilogy
“Best show I’ve ever seen around here.”
“I felt like I was in another world.”
“The acting is captivating and intense. The music is well done and is such a nice touch to this already so creatively awesome haunted house-like experience.”
“It was great to see how the connection is made and everything is so eerily familiar, seeing as it’s about the ghost that has haunted the Avalon for many years right here in Easton…”
“I’ve never seen another performance like it.”
“This is not the same level of acting that I’ve seen at the Avalon before.”
“Such a fun evening. My usually critical husband couldn’t stop talking about the talented group.”
