Readers' theatre returns to the Byers-Evans House with tales from the master of macabre - Edgar Allan Poe. This long-anticipated production, directed by Dell Domnik, features readings of Poe's most famous stories including "The Raven," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Masque of the Red Death," and many more.
The show takes place in the library of the historic Byers-Evans House Museum, amidst the Evans family original belongings and beautiful furniture.
