ADD TO CARTThe works of Edgar Allan Poe are bone-chilling, dark, depressing — nevermore, quoth the raven! This skillful adaptation takes a grand mix of Poe’s writing and characters and weaves them together into a teen-savvy comedy loosely based on “The Fall of the House of Usher” but with more laughs and a much brighter ending. After the bus breaks down on a dark and stormy night, a bunch of high school students on a field trip are forced to spend the night in the spooky house of Usher. But they’re not alone! The spirits of Usher ancestors haunt the halls, cursed to stay trapped in the house forever, unless someone helps the last surviving Usher find the will to truly live life. Read more...

I loved the Poe references and innuendos!
Clever teen farce.... Michael Pulliam, Maui News, Maui, HI
As a director of Middle School Theatre I had found it very difficult to find material, until I came across Pioneer Drama. Usher was a great play, the large size of the cast allowed me to give many of my students the opportunity to perform on stage and both the students and the audience loved the show and had a lot of fun! Julia Becker, Kiddozer Productions, Houston, TX
My middle school students have loved Usher: A Totally Teen Comedy! They’ve gone out of their way to research the Poe references, and they are asking their teachers to assign E. A. Poe works in reading classes. The script allows for students of all acting levels to have parts that are appropriate for them. It’s a delightful directing experience, too! Rebecca Rush, Northwood School, Northwood, NH
