Featuring R.H. Wilhoit, Alisa Lynn and Rex Hobart
Due to popular demand, and just in time for Halloween, The Coterie presents the return special engagement of Electric Poe, this year featuring new adaptations of two Poe classics performed outdoors in Kansas City’s hidden gem, Union Cemetery. In The Pit and the Pendulum, a man is sentenced by The Inquisition to various unspeakable tortures in a diabolical chamber of horrors. In The Tomb of Ligeia, we have Poe's twist on reanimating the dead. Treat yourself and your family to superb acting accompanied by atmospheric electric guitar underscoring in front of the “Holding Vault,” circa 1857.
For Families with Ages 10+
Tickets range from $15.00-$45.00
