About the Show

A new horror play that delves into a macabre radio show and personal hauntings.

The Gothic Hour is a new horror play set in 1999 within the fictional studio of a radio show by the same name. Hosts Francis Mallory Cade and Vincent Cade engage in chilling interviews with death row inmates, providing a glimpse into the minds of the criminally insane just before their scheduled executions. However, during one such interview, a haunting figure from Francis' past reemerges, threatening to disrupt her entire life. Drawing inspiration from Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio and the eerie creations of Clive Barker, this production pays homage to the horror genre, as envisioned by a theatre kid all grown up.

Entertaining, Great acting, Intelligent, Refreshing, Quirky

See it if you like horror and an entertaining plot.

Don't see it if you don't like characters walking around off the stage, it can put you on edge.

Must see, Great writing, Great acting, Clever, Absorbing

See it if A very creative production with exceptional acting and writing. Sort of a mystery with a bit of creep factor.

Don't see it if Not really scary if that's what you're looking for. (but a little bit scary)

Promising, Thought-provoking, Entertaining, Great staging, Great acting

See it if you like your Gothic theme sprinkled w/ creepy humor - as two things happening- the serious plot & the silly zombie ads - both fun to watch.

Don't see it if you get easily freaked out by zombie actors - as they can really be creepy in their intense acting & looks. Otherwise - quite entertaining.

Not very "gothic", Great premise, Very good acting, Absorbing

See it if you're up for a low budget play that takes a while to make sense; can forgive some silliness & hokeyness b/c the essence is worthwhile

Don't see it if you need a polished production. This one is bumpy but has great young actors & the germ of a great idea. Now lose the zombies! Read more

Thought-provoking, Intense, Great staging, Entertaining, Absorbing

See it if You like great staging and suspense. The costuming and makeup were excellent for this shoestring production. Plot a bit scattered.

Don't see it if You don't like creepy plays in a basement. The murderous descriptions are intense. Read more

Fun, Spooky, Great acting, Entertaining, Clever

See it if you want a relaxing evening of silly horror. Very creative but needs some polish. Still lots of fun.

Don't see it if you don't like small venues or shows that are still a bit rough around the edges.

Absorbing, Great makeup, Great acting

See it if you like zombies, actors were amazing in their roles. The stories of thedifferent characters were interesting. Great little theatre.

Don't see it if you are afraid of zombies.

Absorbing, Great acting, Entertaining

See it if you want a modern Gothic kind of show with zombies and humor.

Don't see it if you want a fully polished show--I don't mean most of the actors who are great--but it could use a bit more work.
