Overview
- A TheaterMania listing advertises a solo production titled "Killing an Evening with Edgar Allan Poe 26-27" starring John Kevin Jones in the Merchant's House Museum’s 19th‑century candlelit double parlor.
- Every performance will feature “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Raven,” while other stories rotate between “The Black Cat,” “The Devil in the Belfry,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The Angel of the Odd.”
- A paid pre-show reception called “Raise a Glass to Edgar” is offered at select performances for $30, is strictly limited to 20 guests, and includes punch, a sample of Amontillado, and poetry accompanied by musician Natalia Paruz.
- Tickets are on sale through the listing with a season‑ticket package option to attend all three shows; the event is not recommended for children under 12 and all sales are final.
- The Merchant's House presentation leans on local history — Poe lived nearby in 1845 — and is being presented as part of a season of performances that use the period house to deepen audience immersion.
