Stephen Smith of Threedumb Theater, and Producer of the award-winning “One Man Poe”
An evening of live readings of Poe's lesser known stories and poems (and his more popular work), with insights of how and why they present Poe's work as live performance.
Stephen Smith reads “The Business Man”
Alex Zavistovich reads “Raising the Wind: Diddling Considered as One of the Exact Sciences”
Both actors together read “The Facts of the Case of M. Valdemar”
