As All Hallows’ Eve approaches when the witching hour will be upon us, there’s no more appropriate seasonal spookiness than Helen McKenna-Uff’s riveting one-woman show at the Ritz Theatre, Tell-Tale Poe, in which she is eerily transformed beyond recognition into Edgar Allan Poe (and Sarah Helen Whitman, a poet who was briefly his fiancée).

LYMAN, The Musical, is about, centrally, a person named Lyman Liri. We are first introduced to him as an adult when a lady stops to talk to him while he is selling Valencia oranges on the streets of Redlands, California. We begin to learn about both of them, and how they might even be connected, as the woman seems to recognize him, but can't recall from where or when. This is a brand new Musical that made it's El Portal debut the night I saw the performance. It is an amazing and courageous endeavor to not only put a spotlight on the homeless in our city, but to show how possible it could be that one choice, one decision could change the course of your life forever, in a flash, and this theme is explored thoroughly throughout Lyman's story.
