Carroll Highlights

Iowa storyteller Darrin Crow will bring Gothic horror master Edgar Allan Poe to life in “Morbid Curiosities – An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe.” Poe comes from beyond the veil to talk with audiences about his life and share his best stories and poetry, including “The Mask of the Red Death,” “The Raven,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart.” The performance also features one of Poe’s comedies, “The Angel of the Odd,” a cautionary tale about the dangers of drinking too much.

Darrin Crow tells powerful, imaginative, engaging stories that keep audiences on the edge of their seats and stick with them long after the tale ends. In the theatrical finale of the NEA Big Read in Carroll program, participants will get a final chance to see Edgar Allan Poe come to life on stage.
