Readers: the following is an official statement from the Sheriff's Secret Police.

"Are you tired of watching your existence flow away into the void? Is watching your days and nights go faster and faster toward your inevitable demise getting you down? Is that telemarketer still annoying you with his constant calls? You know, the one who keeps trying to sell you that strange dark, wooden medallion that has a 100% success record of summoning strange mud men?Unfortunately, we cannot help you with any of those things... But we can help you temporarily forget them."

Brought to us by Alpha Psi Omega!

Directed by the brave (but ultimately meaningless) Ian Price, Ian Alexander, and Erin Haynes. Join as we bring you to the town of Night Vale, 'A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep.' 
This production will feature a showcase of individual scenes, written by 9 talented playwrights who have totally not had their minds taken by the Glow Cloud. Tales from Night Vale will feature an array of different characters, location, and situations, new and familiar, all of which takes place in the universe of Night Vale.
