Featuring scenes from Poe's most famous short stories and "moments" in his life this presentation will feature actors, live sound effects artists, recorded effects, and original music to bring to life Poe and his works.

The evening will feature the actor Phil Proctor (Firesign Theatre / Crazy Dog Audio Theater / Animation for Disney, etc.) as Edgar sharing moments from his life which led to writing works like "The Tell Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," and many others. In addition to Phil the cast will include voice actors Melinda Peterson, Lucien Dodge, and possibly one more actor who will help to bring to life Edgar's stories.
