DUE TO THE DEMAND FOR THIS EVENT, THE PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE
LEWES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AUDITORIUM (820 Savannah Road, Lewes) TO ACCOMODATE MORE PEOPLE.


In the spirit of Halloween, Lewes Public Library Spoken Word Society once again brings a reading of favorite stories and poems penned by the master of the macabre Edgar Allan Poe and read under the direction of acclaimed actress, director, and author Gayle Stahluth.

Gayle Stahlhuth has produced over 120 different productions since becoming ELTC’s producing artistic director in 1999, and directed most of them. She has also performed in Off-Broadway shows, national touring productions, and in regional theater and film. Her one-person shows are based on Louisa May Alcott, Edna Ferber, Catharine Beecher, “Eve’s Diary” based on the writings of Mark Twain, and “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin. Her two-person show based on Dorothea Lynde Dix, was commissioned by The National Portrait Gallery.

Registration is required.

At the Lewes Elementary School, please park on the side of the building facing Beebe Hospital and use entrance 12, by the flag pole.
