Black Button Eyes Productions rides again! In this world premiere adaptation of the fantasy novel by Jessica Cluess, Lovecraftian horrors from another dimension have invaded Victorian England. A young lady with unusual magical ability, Henrietta Howell, may be the Chosen One destined to stop the army of monstrosities- if she can learn to control her powers in time. Intrigue, humor, sorcery, and tentacles- what’s not to love?

We understand not everyone is comfortable being in a crowd without masks yet, so we have designated two performances where masks are required. Sunday, September 8, 2024 and Sunday, September 15, 2024 are the designated performances for A Shadow Bright and Burning. Masks are encouraged but no longer required for all other performances.
