Something about fall makes it the season of nostalgia. Whether it’s the changing leaves or the pumpkin spices invading every coffee drink and seasonal beer in sight, autumn brings back memories of a simpler time. If the crunching of leaves has you longing for those golden days of yore, the new Coffee Cup Theatre Company offers the solution: an evening dedicated to that crackling genre of the past, where the only things in 3-D were the massive dials used to change the stations. I’m talking about radio, medium of fireside chats and, in this case, three spooky plays happening this weekend. Presented in traditional 1940s style, the evening features ghostly tales of superstition and revenge, from W.W. Jacobs’ “The Monkey’s Paw” to Oscar Wilde’s “The Canterville Ghost” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado.” —Jennifer Harlan
