What began as one of Molotov Theatre Group’s most successful shows in its ten-year run, Eric Coble’s “Nightfall with Edgar Allan Poe” gave birth to a much larger idea:

 

To create a theatre production and entertainment organization focused on presenting the works of Edgar Allan Poe for the stage, for broadcast, and for education.

​

 

Today, The National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre balances itself on three pillars of success:

​

• Tourism and an enhanced visitor experience for Baltimore,

• Education, specifically English language literacy for underserved young people, and

• Responsible development and inclusivity

 

In time, The National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre plans to have a permanent Baltimore location for its Poe-themed entertainment, catering to the varied needs of all of the city’s residents.
