Ed the Philly Poe Guy

> If you are in the Philadelphia area, I would love to see you at Philly's first Haunted Poe Cabaret. I've been working with Brat Productions for the last year or so, crafting a unique dramatic experience that will debut in October this year: Haunted Poe. To help promote the show, we're having an event at the Latvian Society Cultural Center at 7th and Spring Garden Sts (right across the street from the Philly Poe House) on Thursday, June 25. Doors open at 8. Performance begins at 9.

> As a prelude to the world premiere of the Edgar Allan Poe-based production HAUNTED POE (October 1 - November 1, 2009), Brat Productions invites audiences to enter the world of the master of the macabre with a thrilling, chilling evening of entertainment. Mistress of Ceremonies Dame Darcy helms a raft of performers that include Drew Mills (Blood Feathers), Helen McKenna-Uff (Poe impersonator and Ranger at the Edgar Allan Poe House), Fern Knight, Calamity Rose (12-year-old puppeteer from Puppet Uprising), Yellow Humphrey, and a sneak preview of the much-anticipated HAUNTED POE.

> I'll also be on hand to tell the Philly Poe story. I hope to see many of you there. Info and tickets here:
