NOW PLAYING: Byers Evans House Presents THE OSCAR WILDE EXPERIENCE thru 6/23

The world premiere of THE Oscar Wilde EXPERIENCE comes to the Byers-Evans House now through June 23rd. Adapted by Maggie Stillman, THE Oscar Wilde EXPERIENCE weaves its tale through his short stories, novellas, and poems. Selections include "The Nightingale and the Rose," "The Happy Prince," and "The Canterville Ghost." These stories are often overlooked through the fame of Wilde’s plays and his novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray.”

The cast, under the direction of Wade Wood, includes Bevin Antea, Terry Herron, Sarah Mac, Brandon Palmer, Mike Pearl, Melissa Pear, Maggie Stillman and Joey Wishnia.

The show takes place in the library of the historic Byers-Evans House Museum, amid the Evans family’s furnishings. The room serves as the stage and creates the atmosphere appropriate to the historic nature of the readings. The museum has always supported local theatre by serving as a venue for various small companies. All ticket proceeds help support museum programs, operations and education.
