BRATTLEBORO-The Baker Street Readers will present three stories from their album The Poe Project on Halloween Night, Thursday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m. at the Hooker-Dunham Theater, 139 Main St.
The Baker Street Readers were founded in 2018 by James Gelter and Tony Grobe with the mission of presenting readings of various authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries, most notably Sherlock Holmes mysteries by Arthur Conan Doyle. In October 2020, the Readers released The Poe Project, an album of stories by famed macabre author Edgar Allen Poe.
Their Halloween show will be the first time they have performed any of the material from the album live. Together, Gelter and Grobe will read The Cask of Amontillado, followed by Grobe performing The Masque of the Red Death, and concluding with Gelter reciting Poe's most famous work, "The Raven."
The show will run for approximately one hour. Tickets are $10, cash only, at the door. To reserve a seat, email [email protected]. Digital copies of the album will be for sale in the lobby.
