Opening night didn’t go very well for Germantown Community Theatre’s production of Gorey Stories, a musical play based on the infernal scribblings of author/illustrator Edward Gorey. Many members of the audience left during intermission, which is too bad since the second act is both shorter and much, much better. But it’s also difficult to blame those who left since watching the first half is about as pleasant as being conked on the head by an urn.
