Poe’s Bleak December: A depressing alternative to holiday joy and cheer (but fear not – it gets funnier & wackier as the show progresses!)
7:30 Doors open and pre-show
8:00 Main show starts
See Edgar Allan Poe
as you never have befo'
Poe-Etry, Parody, Comedy, Music, & Clown Dance
1st, see Poe at his most depressing, passionately performed (not read, not recited) on a set with props, sound effects, & music. And then ...
What if Poe did parodies of himself?
What if the raven dreamed and danced about HIS side of the story?
What if Poe did a tribute to Bob Dylan?
A reprise of the hit show that had a run of 15 performances in the Hollywood Fringe Festivals. Now, new and improved, with many additions!
Free.
But if you'd like to help cover expenses for the cast members (excluding Dr. Bobbs who performs for free), you are welcome to donate any amount into the tip hat or via Zelle or Paypal to [email protected] or by scanning the QR code available at the show.
