The Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy returns to San Marcos for an immersive poetry reading featuring actors dressed in period costumes and themed cocktails at the Price Center on Aug 29 and 30.
This immersive experience unfolds on a haunting night for this gothic cocktail theater series and invites guests to step into the shadows of Poe’s most disturbing works, paired with handcrafted libations. This event is around 75-90 minutes and is 21 and up. There will be four acts, each paired with a signature drink.
Guests will be led through four of Poe’s gothic masterpieces, such as “The Cask of Amontillado,” “Annabel Lee,” “The Pit and the Pendulum,” and “The Fall of the House of Usher” (Chapter Two selections), each vividly reimagined by the Poe historians and elevated by immersive performances. Meanwhile, a “macabre lead mixologist” transforms every tale into a thematic cocktail.
