On Thursday, October 13, we were visited by Julia and Ira Levin and their performance of the Poe Show: The Lighter Side of Poe. We had a wonderful time listening to a brief overview of Edgar Allan Poe’s life in the form of songs. We heard about his writing detective stories, pulling a hoax or two, and yes – some lighter parts of his life. We hope you enjoyed the show!

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Arts Council for Wyoming County.

Ira and Julia talk about the meme about Edgar Allan Poe on the projector screen. The meme says "You have a talking parrot? I have a talking raven."
Between songs, Ira holds his guitar and Julia gestures from the keyboard
