The Raven

We're thrilled that The Raven, a musical/fantasy about the life of Edgar Allan Poe has been chosen to have its first Workshop reading as part of the NOTES FROM A PAGE - NEW WORK SERIES at Emerging Artists Theatre.

Edgar Allan Poe has been one of the most maligned and misunderstood artists in our history. The Raven is an exhilarating and heartbreaking journey through his personal and artistic life as he used his creative imagination and resilience to persevere. This musical uses his own writing to paint a musical portrait of his life.
