Ouroboros Theatre Offers Spooky Thriller in October

Tickets are now on sale for the regional theater production of "The Woman in Black."

From a news release:

Performing Arts North and Ouroboros Theatre Productions present “The Woman in Black,” adapted by Stephan Mallatratt, from the book by Susan Hill and directed by Michaell Harrison.

A lawyer hires an actor to tutor him in recounting events that have long troubled him concerning events that transpired when he attended the funeral of an elderly recluse. There he caught sight of The Woman in Black, the mere mention of whom terrifies the locals, for she is a specter who haunts the neighborhood where her illegitimate child was killed. Anyone who sees her dies. The lawyer has invited some friends to watch as he and the actor recreate the events of that dark and stormy night.
