NEVERMORE
The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe
A Musical by Jonathan Christenson
October 10 - November 2, 2024
8 PM Thursdays-Saturdays
Additional performance 2 PM Sunday, October 20.
This unique and wildly theatrical experience combines haunting music and poetic storytelling to chronicle the fascinating life of iconic American writer Edgar Allan Poe. At once gorgeous and grotesque, Nevermore explores the events that shaped Poe’s character and career, blurring the lines between fact and fiction – after all, as Poe himself writes, “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”
