Stories and poems from the wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming mind of Edgar Allen Poe. Travel to the darkest corners inside Poe’s mind, as some of his favorite tales and poems are blended together to create a chilling excursion. Fall under the spell of these familiar stories and poems brought to life in a theatrical adaptation that is suspenseful, sinister, sensual… 

All performances take place in the Black Box Theatre. Tickets are $15 adults/$12 seniors and available for purchase online.
