Night Terrors 2026
Barbara Summerville paying Charity in “In Proper Order” by Tierra Izzo during Night Terrors 2026.
The fifth season
October 8–11 & 15–18, 2026 · Rosemount Museum · Pueblo, Colorado
Past production · Fifth season
The fifth season of Night Terrors brought five stories into the rooms of Rosemount Museum: two original works by Tierra Izzo, adaptations of H. G. Wells and M. R. James, and a binaural encounter with F. Marion Crawford’s The Upper Berth.
Four live performances and one headphone experience led small audiences through an approximately hour-long journey into pursuit, troubled memory, ghostly ambition, and things that would not stay where they belonged. The stories ranged from darkly funny to frighteningly close.

The stories
No Door Against the Dark
Written by Tierra Izzo · Performed by Zoe Flack
Three women cross a lonely moor in search of something better left undiscovered. As darkness falls, shelter becomes a question of trust, and an invitation may carry consequences beyond the night.
In Proper Order
Written by Tierra Izzo · Performed by Barbara Summerville
An older woman insists that someone is in her room. Through familiar objects, uncertain memories, and a troubling reflection, a different account begins to emerge.
The Spirit of It
Freely adapted by Tierra Izzo from H. G. Wells · Performed by Gleason Bauer
A ghost attempts to recover an impossible sequence of movements—and needs the audience’s help to make someone remembered.
Regarding No. 978
Adapted by Tierra Izzo from The Mezzotint by M. R. James · Performed by Sammie Joe Kinnett
An ordinary antique print begins to change. A curator pieces together observations and correspondence as a terrible event unfolds inside the frame.
The Upper Berth
Based on the story by F. Marion Crawford · Performed by Nicholas Izzo & Colin Bridgman
Binaural audio by Nicholas Izzo
A passenger discovers that there is a reason no one wants the upper berth in Cabin 105. Experienced through headphones, the story places the listener uncomfortably close to what shares the cabin.

Nick Izzo
Upon moving back to Tucson en route to L.A. he got his first lead role in a medium length film Date of the Dead which has now been turned into a feature length film. He also met an amazing acting coach who advised him to go to Atlanta as opposed to LA and so with everything he could fit in his SUV he headed south. Within months he got his first role in a paid independent feature, Patient. He also acquired his first agent and booked his first Co-Star role on Drop Dead Diva making him eligible for SAG-AFTRA. Most recently he worked with the same team from Patient in the Atlanta 48-hour film festival on a film called Re Inc for which he was nominated for Best Actor out of over 80 films. In his spare time, Izzo plays piano, soccer, guitar and likes to be outdoors in any capacity including rock climbing.
Sammie Joe Kinnett

He sends boundless love and thanks to his incredible family: his son Wesly, the world's most wonderful young man who has grown up entirely too fast.
