Joe’s Pub will present the return of Justin Sayre’s camp-horror soap opera, Ravenswood Manor on Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28 at 9:30 PM. Ravenswood Manor will be presented episodically with episodes 7 thru 9 on Saturday, and episodes 10 through 12 on Sunday. Both evenings star Jenn Harris (Silence the Musical, New York is Dead), Jeff Hiller (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, “Nightcap”), Rob Maitner, Aaron Jackson (“The Opposition”) and Nicole Spiezio (“Housewife Sonata”), with additional casting to be announced. Ravenswood Manor is directed by Ellie Heyman with music by Henry Koperski.
The first installment at Joe’s Pub last autumn covered the first six episodes of the show, and now we return with the final six of season one. All will be recapped—and revealed!
Taking a cue from television shows like “Dark Shadows,” Ravenswood Manor brings us back to the small New England town of Ravenswood, where frightening and unusual things are happening with more and more frequency. The movie star, Bettina Doors, has returned to her childhood home in 1979, under mysterious circumstances and a veil. There’s a werewolf on the loose and rumblings in the seedy homosexual underground, all while the country gets ready to elect a new president. Who knows what will happen in this small American town on the brink of disaster.
