TOJ brings Poe
to the PCPA with    
"Tell-Tale Heart"

Exploring the depths of sanity, morality and murder… with puppets?! Tears of Joy Puppet Theatre presents Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart,” February 10th and 11th at 8pm at the Winningstad Theatre. Adapted from Edgar Allan Poe’s infamous short horror story, this production blends live actors, mask and life-sized puppets. Three hooded operators bring to life the Old Man, a wonderfully bony and decrepit looking life-sized puppet. The old man’s caretaker, played by a live actor, continuously affirms his sanity as he fixates on the old man’s eye, descending into madness and finally murder. Come join us as we tell the tale of a madman and see what lies at the bottom of his heart.

Special field trip offered for Junior High and High schools! Bring Edgar Allan Poe to life! Field trip available February 10th at 1pm.

Call 503.248-0557 or 800-332-8692 to order your tickets.
