Dramatic reading of Edgar Allan Poe offered at Grey Towers

MILFORD — Come to the Great Hall at Grey Towers for a dramatic reading of works by Edgar Allan Poe.
"Forevermore: A Tribute to Edgar Allan Poe," will be presented at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, at Grey Towers National Historic Site in Milford. Members of the American Readers Theatre Company keep alive a 19th-century tradition, when dramatic readings were a common form of entertainment. They will employ the same format used before radio, television, and motion pictures: no props, costumes, or illustrated assistance. Actors read with scripts in hand and leave much to the audience's imagination.
They will read selected works from the personal library of the Pinchot family, which built Grey Towers in 1886.
Gifford Pinchot founded the U.S. Forest Service, which sponsors the reading as part of its Conservation and the Arts program, and to carry on the family’s tradition of community hospitality.
The program is appropriate for high school-age students on up. Tickets are $20 and may be purchased online at greytowers.org.
