Falconbridge Players presents a dramatic reading of several chilling stories just in time for Halloween season, with readers including Thomas Amacher, Jacob Lange, Bryan Metrish, Jason Summerlott and Sarah Whelan.

press release: Falconbridge Players presents chilling stories of terror and suspense Monday October 25, 7 PM, at Arts + Literature Laboratory in Madison. Come with a strong will to survive. Don’t come alone.

“Right there, while I gazed upon it, it faded away, ceased to be. I didn’t die, but I swear, from what I experienced in those few succeeding moments, that I know full well that men can die of fright.” – That Dead Men Rise Up Never

If you only know Jack London from building a fire, you don’t know Jack London. His stories of ghost sailors and corpses stronger than death await the bold, along with a first-person tale of a near-death experience during the Cuba City, Wisconsin mining boom.

Ghost sailors, corpses stronger than death, and a last-gasp for survival await in That Dead Men Rise Up Never (and Other Stories), a spooky dramatic reading. 

Performed by Thomas Amacher, Jacob Lange, Bryan Metrish, Jason Summerlott, and Sarah Whelan.
