What if "A Christmas Carol" was written about America's greatest writer of horror and suspense?

That's the idea behind "A Christmas Carol for Edgar Allan Poe." This brand-new play was commissioned by The National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre and written by Zac Pensol -- both past winners of The International Edgar Allan Poe Festival "Saturday Visiter" Award. The show opens on December 5 for 12 performances, closing December 21.

“A Christmas Carol for Edgar Allan Poe” will be performed at Baltimore’s Motor House Theater (120 W North Ave, Baltimore, MD 21201), and is made possible in part by a grant from the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, Creative Baltimore Fund.
