The 4th Annual Edgar Allan Poe Double Header To Return To The Jean McDonough Arts Center

On the heels of a riveting season opener of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, The Hanover Theatre Repertory (THT Rep) will present the 4th Annual Edgar Allan Poe Double Header at the Jean McDonough Arts Center October 31 - November 2, 2024.

Originally produced in 2020, this 60-minute solo show is staged as a séance in the BrickBox Theater, where audiences are invited to conjure two of Poe's most notorious narrators.

At times dark and darkly funny, The Edgar Allan Poe Double Header was created by THT Rep Artistic Director Livy Scanlon, who continues to perform the show every October.

"Halloween is my favorite holiday," explains Scanlon, "which makes it all the more special to perform this show. I am profoundly grateful for the audiences who have made the Poe Double Header a successful annual event and look forward to bewitching them again this year."

Led by Production Stage Manager, Jane Siebels, with costume design by Chelsea Kerl, lighting design by Brenda Shepard and sound design by Steve Shepard, this macabre retelling is a must-see spectacle. In her BroadwayWorld.com review, Nancy Grossman notes that "Scanlon's brilliant portrayals are enhanced by the stellar work of the creative team."

This exhilarating THT Rep production of Edgar Allen Poe Double Header will be haunting patrons in Cape Ann at Gloucester Stage Company October 25-27.
