An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe brings you face-to-face with an American icon as Poe reflects on his tortuous life.A child of actors, at age three he watches his mother, Eliza Poe, die of pneumonia. His father has abandoned them. Mrs. Allan, a wealthy, childless matron, adopts and makes a pet of little Eddie but her husband despises this "child of actors."Searching for his birth family, he meets his cousin Virginia who is eight years old, and finds his soul's companion. When she is nearly fourteen they are wed. Theirs is a marriage of the spirit infused with a scent of past lives. But they live in poverty, and soon Virginia is dying of tuberculosis.Asked by the New York City Historic House Trust to write a one-man play for the Poe Cottage in the Bronx, author and playwright Katherine Ashe put her formidable historical research skills to work in crafting this powerful monologue, capturing the voice of the enigmatic literary figure. Here you'll find a speaking presence of Poe: "her eyes were bright with a dark glow, like lakes that hid strange dreamworlds in their depths. Her hair was damp and clung to her face like seaweed 'round the drowned."

Alexander Graham Bell is one of North America’s most famous inventors. Although he is best known for the telephone, he started his science experiments because he wanted to help people who were deaf. He also spent his life exploring metal detectors, iron lungs, kites and speed boats. Have you ever wondered … What it would have been like to actually live with and learn from Alexander Graham Bell? What was he like as a father and grandfather, not just a public figure?
Grampie offers a glimpse into this side of Bell’s life and legacy, inviting us to ponder the question Bell answered throughout his life as a parent and grandparent: What does it look like to lovingly cultivate scientific curiosity at home?
