This award-winning neo-gothic cabaret is unlike anything you’ve seen! Performed first by Jobsite in 2009 and then in new form in 2012, the 2024 reimagining of Gorey Stories weaves together a changed-up compilation of stories, poems, and limericks from the late, great Edward Gorey. Full of wild creatures, weird characters, and humorous, horrid happenings, Gorey Stories is a play with music featuring live accompaniment throughout the 90-minute entertainment from the inimitable Jeremy Douglass behind a cast of regional favorites.
