It’s New Year’s Eve at the Perry Mansion, and Julia and Matthew Perry seem to have it all. But Matthew wants something more — to be rid of his wife so he can have some real fun.

Fri. Oct. 6-8 Poe’s Midnight Dreary

Clio Cast & Crew presents Poe’s Midnight Dreary 7:30-9:30pm

Edgar Allan Poe’s life works are hauntingly dramatized in this play. The story is cleverly told through a series of dramatizations of the master’s work: The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Raven, Annabel Lee, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Premature Burial and The Poetic Principle. These stories are threaded together with the events of Poe’s life as he deliriously remembers them on an anonymous deathbed in a Baltimore hospital.
