Poe in Alexandria

Don't miss an unforgettable evening with America’s earliest master of the macabre - Edgar Allan Poe! Actor David Keltz returns to The Lyceum’s lecture hall to re-create Poe’s visit to Virginia in 1849, shortly before his death. Individual works performed each year vary, but the program always includes a chilling story or two such as “The Cask of Amontillado,” or “The Pit and the Pendulum,” along with well-known poems “The Raven” and “El Dorado.” Mr. Keltz’s performance has been lauded by The Poe House and Museum in Baltimore, The Poe Museum in Richmond, and the Poe National Historic Site in Philadelphia. Attendees are required to wear masks when in the building. Seating is reduced to allow for distancing. Reservations strongly recommended. $20 per person. Doors at 7:30 p.m., performance begins at 8 p.m.
