Richmond’s own Edgar Allan Poe is turning 215…and The Poe Museum is throwing the man behind the tales of terror a birthday bash on Saturday, Jan. 20 from 4-10 p.m.
Poe-tential adventures under the heated tent include:
- A keynote talk on Poe’s lasting impact on pop culture by Professor Scott Peeples, author of “The Man of the Crowd: Edgar Allan Poe and the City”
- The Coldharts, masters of Poe-tic theater, bringing excerpts from their critically acclaimed shows to life
- The Embalmers and The Charles Owens Trio setting the mood with spine-tingling tunes
Raise a pint of craft beer by Garden Grove Brewing, a glass of wine, or a non-alcoholic drink to Poe and satisfy your culinary cravings with TBT El Gallo. The Sweets Bar will be providing all the treats — because what’s a birthday party without a little something sweet?
Formal wear is not required, but the always dapper Edgar Allan Poe would certainly appreciate it.
