What/Why:
Celebrate the end of Valentine's Day -- by burying it alive!

Edgar Allan Poe once wrote that the death of a beautiful woman is the most poetical topic in the world. See if he was right as Poe himself (portrayed by literary historian Rob Velella in this one-man performance) reads from the works that best display that thin line between love and death -- including "Annabel Lee" and "The Raven." One selection will be chosen with help from the audience.

Rumor has it there will also be cupcakes involved.

Admission is $6 per person, or 10 for couples; recommended for ages 13 and up.

Shit! If I didn't have rehersal that night I'd be into this.  Poe is and always has been one of my favorites.
