The National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre has brought Poe's works to life in radio dramas and live performances in Baltimore since 2019.

This year, The National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre did so many wonderful things, with your help:

Five new radio drama productions on National Public Radio: “The Purloined Letter,” “The Beast in the Cave,” “The Spectacles,” “Hop Frog,” “The Pit and the Pendulum”
Our fourth annual Doomsday 24-hour Readathon of the works of Edgar Allan Poe, streamed internationally with participants from the UK, Scotland, Italy and across the US
A hosted presentation called “Performing Poe” at the HL Mencken House in Baltimore, with Stephen Smith of UK’s Threedumb Theatre
Four Poe-themed mentalism and mindreading shows, called “Magic of Words,” with our resident mentalist Alexander the Pretty Good

And, most importantly, we’re rounding out the year with the international debut production of “A Christmas Carol for Edgar Allan Poe,” from award-winning author and playwright Zac Pensol.

Help us continue to bring accessible theatre performances to Baltimore and beyond!

Thank you!
