EDGAR ALLAN POE – THE SHOW!: Talk around town is that McCoy's Grand Theatre’s presentation of "An Evening With Edgar Allan Poe," is GREAT! The play, which features adaptations of five Poe stories as well as recitations of some of his most famous poems like "The Raven," runs through this weekend. Showtimes are 7 p.m. Fridays & Saturday, Nov. 4 &5 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6. Cost is $10 for adults and $7 for students. The stories range from the famous and horrifying, including "The Tell-Tale Heart," to lesser-known works like "The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether." Those who attend should expect to be frightened; because of the macabre subject matter for which Poe is famous, the play may be inappropriate for younger children. Tickets are available at the theater box office, which opens 30 minutes before each show!
