For 2024's "Halloween Tales," the Fort Wayne Youtheatre performed adaptations of Edgar Allen Poe's “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Masque of the Red Death.”
WBOI presented these performances as part of a holiday special that aired at 7pm on Halloween night.
The audio was recorded and produced out of the University of St. Francis, and provided to us by the Youtheatre and Theatrefolk Publishing. Special thanks to Youtheatre Artistic Director Christopher Murphy for always getting in touch and connecting us with these performances each year.
