Edgar Allan Poe Theatrical Reading

Guests will be treated to theatrical readings of The Black Cat, The Raven, and The Oval Portrait. The evening will also include the debut presentation of The Lamentation of Miss Nellie, a short narrative commissioned by Pleasant Home Foundation and written by Oak Park author Mary Grace Bertulfo.
