I love the works of Edgar Allen Poe, but I will be in Vegas! (Watch for some reports from Sin City.)
Metropolitan Playhouse Proudly Hosts Performers from Around the Country in:
Poe-Fest
A two-week festival of new theatrical oddities (and not so) inspired by the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe-Fest includes performances from musicals to monologues, dances to diversions, jokes to jousts with E. A. Poe. Some are based on Poe's work, others are inspired by his life, and still others are just Poe-ish, but together they are a feast of the macabre master. Additionally, each evening of the festival will lead off with a reading or recital of one of Poe's works, including his unfinished play: Politian.
Poe-Fest is divided into seven different performances (the Vaults), each comprised of from one to three presentations. All in all, the Festival includes thirteen performances. Of course.
