Edgar Allan Poe’s eerie worlds will leap off the page and onto the stage this week at Division Brewing.
Division Brewing and Growl Records are turning to the darker side of literature this week with “A Night With Poe.”
The event was organized by Division Brewing co-owner Tami Wadlington and a friend of hers, Julia Lilly. Wadlington and Lilly both have English degrees and are longtime Poe enthusiasts.
Love and loss will echo through the crowd as actors will perform selections of Poe’s work in immersive, theatrical readings starting at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday at Growl Records.
“We wanted to provide a unique production for the DFW area, and especially for the Arlington community, at a diverse and intimate venue.”
Wadlington owns the brewery with her husband, Wade Wadlington, and business partner, Sean Cooley.
Growl Records, a record store and small venue for live performances, is owned by the brewery and connected to it by a patio. Wadlington said she and Lilly recently introduced Growl Productions, and this will be its first production.
Wadlington said that Victorian Goth costumes are encouraged but not required.
Tickets are $49.87 and include admission, a commemorative glass and two drinks, with nonalcoholic options available. They can be purchased online in advance or at the door if they are available.
