Horse Trade Theater Group presents Radiotheatre’s The H.P. Lovecraft Festival, March 17-April 3 at The Kraine Theater, located at 85 East 4th Street in New York City.

Now in its 7th Season, Radiotheatre combines the artistry created during the Golden Age of Radio when Sound was king. Story Telling was combined with great voices, music and sound effects to allow the individual imaginations of its audiences create compelling movies for the mind’s eye. Radiotheatre provides a memorable, live, theatrical experience with some 21st Century touches that include cinematic scripts, fully scored orchestral sound tracks, a plethora of aural effects and, sometimes, a few visuals. It all comes together in a performance that is a unique production with non-traditional, modern, innovative stage presentation.

RadioTheatre will present six of the greatest stories written by the grand master of horror himself, HP Lovecraft, live and onstage for the first time ever in the following programs:

PROGRAM A:

• Dagon - A man is shipwrecked on a strange island where he finds a lost world of fish people.
• From Beyond - A mad scientist goes where no man has gone before.
• The Beast in the Cave - A lost cave explorer is attacked by something in the dark
• Pickman’s Model - Just how does the artist Pickman get such remarkable detail in his horrifying paintings?

March 17, 18, 19, & 31 @ 8 pm / March 20 @ 4 pm / April 2 @ 8 pm

PROGRAM B:

• The Dunwich Horror - A seminal work in Lovecraft's famous Cthulu Mythos wherein a backwoods family worships the ancient ones who will return one day to destroy mankind.
• The Music of Erich Zann - A weird pianist plays maddening music that is indescribable.

March 24, 25, & 26 @ 8 pm / April 1 @ 8 pm / April 3 @ 4 pm
