Oscar Wilde's delightful story comes to life with vivid performances by Mark Redfield and Mackenzie Menter (as Virginia), with an original music score by Jennifer Rouse. One of the first stories Wilde published in 1887, "The Canterville Ghost" tells the story of an American family that moves into a haunted country house in England. At first disbelieving in ghosts, the family soon accepts, and then combats, the ghostly antics of Sir Simon de Canterville. Sir Simon has haunted Canterville Chase in various ghastly disguises for years, and becomes increasingly frustrated at the American family's attempts to spoil the fun. Only little Virginia reaches out to Sir Simon, and with her help, the garrulous ghost is able to find peace. Wilde's story combines macabre whimsy and gentle humor, making it perennially popular. "He made me see what Life is, and what Death signifies, and why Love is stronger than both." - The Canterville Ghost.
Four favorite tales from the pen of American short-story writer O. Henry that burst with his humor, pathos, and endearing observations on children, the poor, and dogs! In this collection: "The Ransom of Red Chief" (two kidnappers hatch a plot and get more than they bargain for!), "Memoirs of a Yellow Dog" (a put-upon pup and his master yearn for a better life), "The Cop and the Anthem" (all poor Soapy wanted was a warm bed for the winter), and "The Gift of the Magi" (the classic Christmas tale of love and giving from the heart). Performed by Mark Redfield with Mackenzie Menter. Original music by Jennifer Rouse.
Three magical stories from three American authors, weaving magic creating true American Fairy Tales. In "The Princess Who Could Not Dance", a Princess learns to let go and let nature teach her how to dance. In "Rosy's Journey", a young girl embarks on a long journey to find her father. In "The Golden Windows", a boy learns what true riches he has in his life.
Mackenzie Menter performs Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s famous 1892 tale of a woman’s decent into madness. The unnamed narrator secretly keeps a journal and chronicles her decent into madness while subjected to her doctor-husband’s severe postpartum rest cure. She begins to see that a woman is trapped in the suffocating wallpaper that envelops her room, and she becomes determined - - at all costs - - to free her. Rediscovered and celebrated by feminists and humanists in the 1970s, its powerful atmosphere of mystery and underlying message retains its strength to this day. Original Music and Sound Design by Jennifer Rouse.
