Exit Stage Left & The Tell-Tale Heart

"Exit Stage Left" is an original piece written by Zachary Dyson that follows Charlotte, the unfortunate contestant on a vicious game show that she did not want to play. The gameshow's host, aptly named "Host," guides, taunts, and watches as Charlotte navigates the risky waters of what awaits her. Her task is simple, choose one of three doors before her and go through, easy as that. But what waits behind them will decide if she goes home a winner, or at all.

The Tell-Tale Heart is a story originally written by Edgar Allan Poe, adapted into a short play by Kyleigh Reeves. It is narrated by four people in first person, all representing a man who is attempting to defend his sanity while he explains his plans of killing his neighbor. His fear of the old man’s “evil eye” drives him mad, and he wants to be rid of it. His quiet and slow actions raise suspense as the audience waits in anticipation for the horror to unfold. As the story goes on, the madman experiences feelings of guilt, paranoia, and insanity, eventually unveiling his own crime in the end.
