  A candlelit evening of spirited entertainment, is heading to Star Union Spirits
• 0:24
  in Peru on select dates in October. The program features tales from
• 0:29
  the dark mind of Edgar Allan Poe. Nevermore was created and produced
• 0:33
  by Black Cat Entertainment. The show takes visitors on a journey with
• 0:37
  Poe as he reveals his inspiration behind some of his most well-known
• 0:41
  stories. The audience will get to know the legendary writer, portrayed by
• 0:45
  Jake Jackielski, on a deeper level as he talks of his childhood,
• 0:49
  heartbreaks and losses, as well as his obsession with death. He then
• 0:53
  intertwines several of his more famous stories. Other actors drift in and
• 0:57
  out with Poe's stories, creating an experience guests are sure to remember.

  This is an exciting partnership with Black Cat Entertainment, said Bob Windy,
• 1:07
  Star Union owner. Our space really lends itself to intimate shows like
• 1:11
  this, where the audience is right there with the performers. This Victorian
• 1:14
  era style of show fits the steampunk vibe of our space, with
• 1:18
  the equipment dimly lit through the window and a darkened atmosphere. Luckily,
• 1:23
  two of our creative team members are Edgar
• 1:25
  Allan Poe fans and did a lot of research in creating this
• 1:29
  show, said Don Grant Zelmer, producer of Black Cat Entertainment. We're very
• 1:34
  fortunate to have performers comfortable with performing in an intimate setting like
• 1:38
  this, and I'm very much looking forward to the audience reactions. Nevermore.
• 1:43
  Inside the mind of Edgar Allan Poe will play at Star Union
• 1:46
  on Thursday, october fifteenth, Wednesday, october twenty first, and Thursday, october twenty
