We want you as our guest:
Winners of the 2017 Elko Daily Free Press Reader's Choice Bronze Award for "Best Annual Event", Poe & Pints returns as the “must-do” event of the Fall!
Duncan LittleCreek Gallery and Ghost Light Productions host three nights of craft beer tasting and performances of dramatized works of Edgar Allan Poe October 4, 5, and 6 beginning at 7 PM at the DLC. Tickets for the wildly popular event go on sale August 24 and are just $30 per person. Tickets will be available at the Elko Chamber of Commerce or by calling (775) 934-3721 and include four tasting flights, background on the beverage selections, customized pint glass, and soda for our non-alcohol drinking guests. Seating is limited for what the Free Press called, “an evening of refreshingly original entertainment."
It’s our fifth anniversary and we want you to help celebrate with us in 2018!
Long since departed, melancholy, and dark storyteller, Edgar Allan Poe will welcome guests and audience participation is encouraged. Literary selections featured during past Poe & Pints have included The Oval Portrait, Dream Within a Dream, The Raven, Masque of the Red Death, Alone, The Cask of Amontillado, The Music of Erich Zann by H. P. Lovecraft, and Josh Webster’s Good Spirits among others. This year we are excited to feature American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper as 2018’s non-Poe piece! Funds raised during Poe & Pints help support GLP’s commitment to youth and adult theater programming, instruction, education, and events.
