Midnight Tales
work-in-progress at
MONDAY NIGHT MARSH
Oct 6th & 20th
Midnight Tales is a play inspired by the grand guignol horror plays of the late 1800s through the 1960s, anthology horror films like those from Amicus Productions of the 1960s-70s, and historical stories like Grimms’ Fairy Tales.
I’m excited to stage a 20 minute segment of the full play for Monday Night Marsh at The Marsh theater (1062 Valencia Street, San Francisco) October 6th and 20th, 2025.
This collection of modern dark fables is guided by a mysterious Storyteller — a figure who can only speak during the witching hour, midnight to one a.m. Horror is a thrilling playground for both storytelling and stagecraft, rooted in reality, but laced through by the supernatural and a touch of dark fantasy.

The Marsh Mondays is a marvelous opportunity to workshop a section of the play and produce content for fundraising.
