 "You enter a 10,000-square-foot warehouse in South Philly and proceed through 13 dim rooms, knowing only that, along the way, you can expect to encounter illusions, puppets, blood, a horde of insects, a masquerade ball and plenty of themes borrowed from Philly's own Edgar Allan Poe. Are you game?

The multiple hats of Jess Conda

At BRAT Productions we all wear many different hats. Jess Conda has been with BRAT since 2003 and during this time has served as intern, actor, stage manager, house manager, and casting associate. Her theater life outside of Brat has taken her across Philadelphia and beyond, with the likes of People's Light and Theater Company, Pig Iron, Philadelphia Young Playwrights and Montgomery Theater, among others.

Be Careful What You Wish For

Haunted houses are supposed to be scary, but as creative directors (OR WHATEVER WE CALL THEM) of Haunted Poe, we think of ourselves as the SPOOKERS, not the SPOOKEES. We got ourselves a dose of our own medicine last night when we encountered an unexpected visitor late night at the Haunted Poe space.
