Curious about The Edgar Allan Poe Experience?

From Artistic Director Veronica Murphy:

“Mr. Poe, and those who have followed in his footsteps, provide an evening of hauntingly creepy stories that will truly make your spine tingle. The Villa Montezuma is the perfect setting for exploring the mysteries that await in the literature of the macabre.”

Check out a wonderful overview by KPBS. In addition, you will learn why the Villa Montezuma is the PERFECT location for Poe and more Poe. Hint – it has nothing to do with ghosts and a lot to do with the enchantment that comes from the arts and creativity.
