WRITE OUT LOUD has announced “Poefest” co-directed by Rachael VanWormer and Veronica Murphy. Performances will take place on October 16, 17, 23, 24, 30 and 31, with three performances each evening at 6:00pm, 7:30pm and 9:00pm. Performances take place throughout the Villa Montezuma Museum in Sherman Heights. This historic Queen Anne Victorian was named “The Palace of the Arts," by Jessie Shepard, the musician, spiritualist and author who designed it in 1887. Tickets are $35.
The master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, and his compatriots are back! PoeFest is a gothic evening of supernatural stories featuring witches, voodoo and one of Poe's most ghastly tales, The Premature Burial. Experience this gripping imagery, shared by veteran Poe performers Rhianna Basore, Manny Fernandez, Monique Gaffney, Eddie Yaroch, Walter Ritter, and Veronica Murphy, and new to PoeFest, Geoffrey Geisinger.
Artistic Director Veronica Murphy shared "Mr. Poe and those who have followed in his footsteps, provide an evening of hauntingly creepy stories that will make your spine tingle. The Villa Montezuma is the perfect setting for exploring the mysteries that await in the literature of the macabre.”
Location:The Villa Montezuma Museum is located at 1925 K Street., San Diego 92102. The Villa Montezuma is an historic building with no elevator.
