LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!  GHOULS AND GHOSTS!  OUTER GODS AND ELDER THINGS!  CENOBITES AND LYCANTHROPES!  YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!

We are thrilled to announce the lineup for DEATHSCRIBE 2012:

Directed by Damon Kiely

Fish Story by Joseph Zettelmaier

El Grito de Rose by Jessica Wright Buha

The Wall by Travis Williams

We got nearly 100 submissions and these five wonderful nightmares rose to the top, ready to thrill and chill.  A Lovecraftian apocalypse, a mischievous demon, a gory Arctic creature, an ode to murder ballads, and a dose of modern terror.  It all will make a one-of-a-kind evening of live horror radio.

And you may have noticed...our 2011 Bloody Axe winning playwright/director pair, Jessica Wright Buha and Carolyn Hoerdemann, who brought you ALABAMA MERMAID last year, are teaming up once again.  We daemons squeal with delight.

More info will be posted here in the coming weeks about our finalists (and the directors who love them), and we hope to see YOU at the Mayne Stage on December 3.

Episode 19 Deathscribe 2010 Part One...

Listen and Enjoy.

Deathscribe 2011 tonight at 8pm! Who will get the bloody axe?

It's here.  We teched all weekend....the pieces are killer.  My knuckles are swollen from foley work (pounding on cellar doors, pounding on various fruits and vegatables, pounding on pillows....etc).  Tonight we descend upon the beautiful Mayne Stage for an amazing evening of live horror radio.  It will be a classy night of chaos.  Please join us for the fourth annual Deathscribe Horror Radio Play Festival!

DEATHSCRIBE 2011 Submissions Due Sept. 15th!

Ladies and Germs, your DEATHSCRIBE 2011 submissions are due September 15th.

Here are the details.

Send us your 10-minute, scary radio play, complete with sound effects notations. The DEATHSCRIBE Festival, now in its fourth year, has become one of the cool, fun annual events in Chicago. The show takes place at the beautiful Mayne Stage and the five selected pieces are directed and performed by some of Chicago's theatre finest. If your piece is selected it will read live, accompanied by a live band and live sound effects on stage. Our Guest Jury will choose the evening's winner and that author will receive the coveted Bloody Axe! Get your writing hat on and scare the hell out of us.
