The mission of The National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre is to bring Poe’s works
to life onstage, on the air, and in the classroom for literacy. We do that through public events like our annual Doomsday readathon, by mounting
stage productions from plays to fun mental magic shows,
and by producing our award-winning audio drama series Poe Theatre on the Air.
But we can’t do it without financial support. So we're asking you to consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us bring the works of
Edgar Allan Poe to the people of Baltimore and around the world.
Your support won’t go unrecognized (unless that's what you want).
Here's what we have on tap for 2027:
-
Poe Theatre on the Air Season Four, with six all-new NEW radio dramas streamed AND broadcast on National Public Radio
-
Repeat performances of “Alexander the Pretty Good Present The Poe Magic Show"
-
Expand our Poe Theatre in the Classroom Educational Initiative, with audio drama instruction and interactive actor workshops
-
Doomsday 2027, our fifth annual nonstop reading marathon of Poe’s works
-
Our second annual Raven-Off Poetry Reading Competition
