Join Edgar Allan Poe, the master of the macabre, for an evening of masque and mirth. For your entertainment, Poe will get your heart racing through a reading of one of his gothic masterpieces along with several of his poems. Join him, too, in discussion of both the morbid and the merry. Feel free to dress for the occasion, with masques and costume encouraged, though not required. The Manitou Art Center has graciously agreed to provide a bar to help ease the nerves, with beer, wine, and a surprise themed cocktail available for purchase.
Poe shall be portrayed by local actor Seth Palmer Harris, a veteran of the stage, whose performances as Poe, Dickens, and Twain are acclaimed throughout the Front Range.
