American Lyric Theater to Present Workshop of THE POE PROJECT, 5/26

What would Edgar Allan Poe be writing if he were alive today?

In honor of the 200th Anniversary of Poe's birth, this is the question we asked of three composers and three librettists last year as part of The Composer Librettist Development Program. Under the mentorship of librettist Michael Korie and Producing Artistic Director Lawrence Edelson, these six gifted artists have been developing THE POE PROJECT, a trilogy of one-act psychological thrillers inspired by Poe's short stories.

Thanks to a commissioning grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, along with additional support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and The ASCAP Foundation: Joseph and Rosalie Myer Fund, ALT has commissioned the completion of this exciting and haunting new trilogy.

On Wednesday May 26th at 7 PM, ALT will present the first public workshop of THE POE PROJECT at the Laurie Beechman Theater on West 42nd Street in the heart of the theater district. Stay tuned for more details about this exciting event - but mark your calendars now... you won't want to miss it!
