Halloween with Poe

At the League-Kempner House

8:00pm & 10:00pm

A night of poetry, passion, and eternal love…

Step into the solemn chamber of mourning this Halloween, where Edgar Allan Poe himself takes the stage. Through his most exquisite and heartfelt poetry, Poe summons Lenore and Annabel Lee across the gulf of Death, guiding you through an unforgettable arc of grief—from denial to acceptance.

This immersive performance blends gothic romance with timeless verse, inviting you to witness the heart of America’s great poet laid bare.

Following the performance, guests are welcomed to a refined reception and a self-guided tour of the storied League-Kempner House, where history and atmosphere linger in every room. Incorporate a Costume Contest complete with Poe-themed prizes, and you’ll curate an evening of entertainment that transforms Halloween into a truly memorable occasion. An evening of beauty, sorrow, and mystery awaits.
