Summoners Ensemble Theatre's Killing an Evening with Edgar Allan Poe returns to the Merchant's House! Join us this Halloween season as we summon Edgar Allan Poe back to share some of our favorite bone-chilling stories. The Angel of the Odd, The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, and of course, The Raven the Merchant's House
Edgar Allan Poe lived just blocks from the Merchant’s House, on Amity Street (now West 3rd Street). Mr. Poe appeared in many salons of the day, but never at the Tredwells - until now! Join our seance as we invite Edgar Allan Poe back to the realm of the living for one more salon at the Merchant's House Museum. We hope the Tredwells whose spirits still inhabit the home will be watching with interest. John Kevin Jones (A Christmas Carol at the Merchant's House) portrays the American master of terror for this spine-tingling performance of The Angel of the Odd, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Raven. Killing an Evening with Edgar Allan Poe is directed by Summoners Ensemble Theatre Artistic Director, Dr. Rhonda Dodd (A Christmas Carol at the Merchant's House). Performances are recorded in the landmark 1832 Merchant's House Museum, New York City's only 19th-century family home preserved intact, inside and out. Tickets include the performance and post-show event. The event's total run time is approximately 90 mins. Running time - 60 minutes, no intermission |
