Theatre-Hikes® at The Morton Arboretum

In September, experience “The Complete History of America (abridged).”  This piece begins with ancient ancestors crossing the Bering Strait and finishes with an appearance of Barack Obama.  As with their other works, this piece incorporates audience participation, physical jokes and intellectual humor for an entertaining afternoon. “Nightfall with Edgar Allan Poe” in October tells the four tales that Poe himself thought were his most spooky—“The Raven,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Pit and the Pendulum,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart”.  Poe is the lead character through each tale, sometimes observing, but mostly experiencing these stories along with the audience. All Theatre-Hikes® are approximately two hours in length and will not exceed 2 miles in hiking distance.
