An Audience with Poe
October 3 @ 3:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$65
Sip, savor, and shiver with Poe’s darkest tales brought to life through storytelling, cocktails, and confections.
Professional storytellers bring to life the “powerful graphic effect” that Washington Irving once praised in Edgar Allan Poe’s writing, with haunting renditions of The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, and The Masque of the Red Death. We pair the tales with complimentary cocktails or mocktails designed to capture the spirit of the stories.
The evening begins in the Library at Historic Hudson Valley, where visitors enjoy their first drink while standing among the shelves, listening to a creepy tale. From there, the experience deepens in an intimate theater setting, with three more of Poe’s dark masterpieces performed in turn, as those gathered sip drinks and enjoy small treats—indulgences to savor in the night’s shadows.
