Performed pieces include "The Black Cat," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Conqueror Worm," "Alone" and "The Raven." Similar to Rep Stage's recent production of "A Dickens of a Carol," tickets to "The Poe Show" include a four-course meal.

Tsendeas' Rep Stage directorial debut, "Wittenberg," recently earned him an "Outstanding Director" nomination for the 2010 Helen Hayes Awards.
