The dark and macabre works of Edgar Allan Poe are timeless, as evident by Mike Flanagan's upcoming Netflix series, The Fall of the House of Usher. Based on the Poe story of the same name, this modern horror series follows wealthy siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher. The family’s dark, shady past leads to gruesome murders committed at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.

The series drops the same weekend as Spencer Theatre Company's production of Eric Coble's NIGHTFALL WITH EDGAR ALLAN POE, with The Fall of the House of Usher being one of four stories featured. The play, along with a "Poe Experience" reception before and after each show, has a limited run October 12-14 at the Hoogland Center for the Arts in Springfield.

Make plans now to enjoy a full weekend of Poe! Tickets to "Nighfall" are available through the Hoogland box office, (217) 523-2787 or .
