Meet the man behind the macabre: Edgar Allan Poe, whose life was every bit as haunting and tragic as his work. In this original theatrical work, Poe’s life is brought to the stage through a haunting tapestry of his most celebrated stories and poems, woven together with letters, journal entries, historical accounts, and firsthand writings from Poe, his family, friends, and contemporaries.
Featuring The Tell-Tale Heart, The Masque of the Red Death, The Raven, Annabel Lee, and more, this original script explores the man behind the myth—blurring the lines between Poe’s lived experiences and the dark worlds he created. A deeply personal journey through love, loss, obsession, and genius, this is the story of Edgar Allan Poe as you’ve never seen him before. | Buy Tickets |

Newnan Theatre Company's Academy of Theatre Arts is proud to present Cinderella : Youth Edition
The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, this enthralling fairy tale still warms the hearts of children and adults alike.
In this specially created Youth Edition, all the beloved songs and familiar characters are present and accounted for. However, the entire script has been condensed to better suit young attention spans, and the plot has been slightly altered to highlight some important lessons for contemporary audiences.
