Calling All Poe-ets and Actors! "Playing at Poe" at the Strand Theater MHC (Maryland Humanities Council) and The Strand Theater are partnering on a Free Fall Baltimore event Friday, October 16 at 7 p.m. Just in time for Halloween! MHC are carefully selecting the scariest, darkest and most dramatic works by Poe so that the audience can interpret them using costumes and props provided by the Strand. Not only will this be a night of dramatic interpretation, it is also a contest to see who is the "last Poe standing!" And the winner, chosen by the audience, takes home a cash prize! Maybe you think that The Raven would be best interpreted as a tap dance while someone else reads the poem aloud, or maybe you'd like to compose a piece of music for Annabel Lee? The possibilities are endless! Put this event on your calendar, because you won't want to miss out! Be sure to check the website www.mdhc.org/programs/maryland-center-for-the-book/playing-at-poe/ for more information, including contest rules and Poe selections, as MHC post them.
