“Masquerade of the Red Death Victorian Gala Ball”

ONLINE INFORMATION:  http://www.masqueradereddeath.com/

172 Years Later... Edgar Allan Poe's
Masterpiece "Masquerade of the Red Death" awakens with awe in Ocala
Florida. And you are invited to attend.

On June 14, 2014, Edgar Allan Poe's
masterpiece "The Masque of the Red Death" will be recreated in the
form of a Gothic Victorian Masquerade Ball at the Seven Sister's Inn in Ocala,
Florida. The Insomniac Theatre Company pays tribute to the anniversary of this
epic short story's original publication date of 1842, by brilliantly creating a
mystical production within the extensive outside and inside spaces of one of
Ocala Florida’s historical icon.

Scenes from this spectral work (and
other Poe's treasures) will be performed by a cast of live actors, as they
mingle with the guests and other magical entertainers, including magicians,
wizards and other characters from the shadows of the mystique. Each and every
one of the "castle's" rooms will be dazzled with iconic hues and
amazing special effects, teasing your imagination into the powerful classical
remnants of the Poe-ish mind.

The Insomniac Theatre Company will
transform the Seven Sister's Inn into an Edgar Allan Poe themed "House of
Horrors" based on several of Poe's stories with a main theme of The Mask
of the Red Death. Individual rooms will be based on the following stories: The
Cask of Amontillado, The Black Cat, Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tale
Heart, The Raven, and The Pit and the Pendulum. The gardens and courtyards of
the "castle" will only be protected by the moon-lit torches, defining
the delicate thresholds between life and death ... "never more".

This event, hosted by Prince Prospero,
will submerge the guests into the midst of its powerful story line, so strongly
that one will not be able to decipher who is a fantasy player or another
stunned and unprepared by-stander of the night. All guests are requested to
dress in Masked Victorian Ball costumes and refrain from wearing red… as in the
RED DEATH.

Tickets are $45/person and will include
incredible acting, magical and musical entertainment with special effects, two
glasses of Poe-Blend wine (or other beverages) and appetizers served by the
castle’s jesters.  Overnight “Poe-static” overnight packages are offered
by the inn, for the opportunity to sleep in the castle.
