An Evening With
Edgar Allan Poe

directed by Maggie Stillman
produced by Hunger Artists Ensemble Theatre

There is no better way to spend Halloween than with a scary story, and Edgar Allan Poe is the original master of the genre. Due to tremendous audience demand, we've moved our annual holiday favorite to a larger venue, the beautiful (and haunted?) Denver Victorian Playhouse. We have new stories and an exceptional cast this year, and of course we'll be performing Poe's most famous classics including The Raven, The Masque of the Red Death, The Tell-Tale Heart and many others. Make reservations early, this show sells out early and we're sure you won't want to miss An Evening With Edgar Allan Poe. A reader's theatre production.

"No ordinary stage performance is this...a theatrical reading that is one part production, one part recital and all parts black pageantry...presented with a force that is as chilling as it is powerful. (director Maggie Stillman's) troupe executes a commanding and near faultless performance...a treat as trick as your first Jack-o-lantern."
R.K. Liggin, UCD Advocate

Reader's Theatre is performance art where our professional actors both read and perform. Like storytelling, Reader's Theatre creates images by suggestion that could never be realistically portrayed on stage. It is "theatre of the mind", freeing both the performers and the audience from the physical limitations of conventional theater and creating a unique and unforgettable experience.
