SUMMARY:Evening Crane Theatre Presents: The Spyglass Seven
DESCRIPTION:The ghosts of Edgar Allan Poe and several of his contemporaries come to life this summer in a theatrical production of The Spyglass Seven at The Poe Museum on June 6\, 2025.  \n\n\n\nMichael Seebold’s The Spyglass Seven finds Poe resurrected from the grave for one night\, to speak again with the ghosts of the seven women who most  shaped his life and work. In a cemetery before dawn\, the ghosts reminisce on their loves\, rivalries\, and literature from the 1830s and 1840s. Under the  mysterious presence and vigil of the Spirit of Beauty\, Poe is given until sunrise to determine which of the seven women was his soul mate.  \n\n\n\nThe play incorporates writings and poems from Poe and his contemporaries\,  including the infamous Obituary for Edgar Allan Poe written by Rufus Griswold. Among the historical figures to appear in the play are Jane Stanard\, an early  mentor figure from Poe’s years in Richmond; Sarah Helen Whitman\, the  enigmatic spiritualist and one-time fiancée to Poe; and Virginia Clemm\, Poe’s  first cousin and wife\, whose death from tuberculosis inspired some of the  poet’s most famous poems.  \n\n\n\nThe Spyglass Seven received the 2012 Arts NC State Creative Artist Award for  Playwriting and saw its world premiere at NCSU University Theatre in 2013.  The play has run previously in New York and in the International Edgar Allan  Poe Festival & Awards in Baltimore. \n\n\n\nThe cast is led by actors Elias Morris (Poe) and Kylie Logan (Beauty)\, with hair\,  makeup\, and special effect designs by Sol Henriquez.  \n\n\n\nActor Michael Short\, who portrays Poe’s literary executor and rival Rufus  Griswold in the play\, comments: “my most vivid memory of Miss Elias’ 10th  grade English Literature class\, was the moment we turned the page to Poe’s  lyric poem Annabel Lee\, and we began to read.”  \n\n\n\n“Returning to an old script is rewarding but uncanny\,” adds Seebold\, who will  also direct the June production\, “familiarity and novelty reside in the same  lines. The world of the play begins to evade time.”  \n\n\n\nReserve your tickets by clicking the button below!

SUMMARY:Tell-Tale Talks featuring: Richard Kopley
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, March 19 from 6:00 – 7:00pm in welcoming Richard Kopley as he discusses his new biography: Edgar Allan Poe: A Life\, published by the University of Virginia Press. \n\n\n\nThis is the first installment of our seven-part 2025 speaker series\, the Tell-Tale Talks. \n\n\n\n… \n\n\n\nAbout Edgar Allan Poe: A Life:  \n\n\n\n“Edgar Allan Poe: A Life is the most comprehensive critical biography of Poe yet produced\, exploring his fascinating life\, his extraordinary work\, and the vital relationship between the two. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre found in such works as “The Raven\,” “Annabel Lee\,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart\,” this legendary American author continues to intrigue and enthrall his devoted readers. Written by one of the world’s leading Poe experts\, this biography is a rich and rewarding study for the general reader as well as for the seasoned scholar. Richard Kopley combines a biographical narrative of Poe’s enduring challenges—including his difficult foster father\, his personal losses\, his great struggles with depression and alcoholism\, and the poverty that dogged his existence—with close readings of his work that focus not only on plot\, character\, and theme but also on language\, allusion\, and structure in a way that enhances our understanding of both. While incorporating past Poe scholarship\, this volume also relates unknown stories of Poe culled from privately held letters unavailable to previous biographers\, presenting a range of groundbreaking archival discoveries that illuminate the man and his oeuvre in ways never before possible.” -UVA PRESS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n… \n\n\n\nExhibits remain open. Wine available for purchase. \n\n\n\nEmail Nicole Coppino at nicole@poemuseum.org for media inquiries or any additional information.

SUMMARY:Illumination Series ft. Kris Spisak
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Fountain Bookstore\, join us on Wednesday\, September 18th from 6:00 – 8:00 pm for an evening with Kris Spisak!  \n\n\n\nThis lecture is the sixth installment of our seven-part 2024 Illumination Series: Out of SPACE – Out of TIME. \n\n\n\nTRICKSTER\, FEMINIST\, AND WITCH OF THE WOODS… \n\n\n\nWhether you know Baba Yaga as a Slavic witch\, an earth goddess\, or a monster in modern media\, she is a force with secrets to divulge. The roots of her stories stretch back over a thousand years\, and her chicken-legged hut is only the beginning of her intrigue.  \n\n\n\nDarkness\, fear\, and instability sometimes inundate our daily lives\, but folktale figures like Baba Yaga speak to the dichotomy of our existence—the hope and the horror\, the magic and the mundane. She is at once an old hag and an enchantress\, a demon and wish granter\, a feminist and nothing more than a fairytale. Yet her multifaceted presence ripples through the present day. Stories that linger have something to teach us\, and Baba Yaga’s tales don’t disappoint. Understanding ourselves\, our complex world\, and our place within history are only a matter of turning to a boney-legged old woman who lives deep in the Eastern European woods.   \n\n\n\nAbout September’s Speaker: \n\n\n\nKris Spisak wrote her first three books—Get a Grip on Your Grammar\, The Novel Editing Workbook\, and The Family Story Workbook—to help writers of all kinds sharpen their storytelling and empower their communications. Her award-winning debut novel\, The Baba Yaga Mask (Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing)\, was inspired by her family’s experience in the post-WWII Ukrainian diaspora and has been called “A complex\, poetic tale” by Kirkus Reviews and “edu-tainment at its best” by the Historical Novel Society. Her fifth book\, Becoming Baba Yaga: Trickster\, Feminist\, and Witch of the Woods (nonfiction)\, is an exploration of the complex origins of this Slavic folktale character and her lingering lessons for empowering us all. Kris knows well-written words and well-told stories can change the world\, and she cannot wait to tell you her next story. Learn more at https://kris-spisak.com/.  \n\n\n\n… \n\n\n\nExhibits remain open. Wine available for purchase. \n\n\n\nLimited parking available in the Poe Museum parking lot. Additional parking available at the Holocaust Museum’s parking lot\, accessible by 21st and Dock St.
