Posted on November 23, 2025

Penn’s production of “Shuddersome: Tales of Poe” by Lindsay Price, earned the top spot at the Indiana Thespians Region contest at Huntington on Saturday, Nov. 22, and advances to compete at State in January.
 
Ivy Adams, Andrew Dell, Maria Horner, Ian Levendoski, Ari Mitchell, Brielle Moore, Sam Radde-Gallwitz, Holden Saia and Diego Luis Sotelo Gonzalez performed for Penn.
 
“After our local performance here in the Tania Bengtsson EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating Systems) CPA Friday evening to a crowd of a little over 70 — a pretty good number for a show the week after the fall play! — students were excited to get on the activity bus and go down to regionals,” Penn Theatre Director Kathryn Hein said. “We are incredibly proud of our six actors (from the Advanced Acting class) and three technicians who have worked hard to do their best and represent Penn High School against the seven other schools.”
