East Lynne Theater Company presents Poe by Candlelight in time for Halloween and is the final Tales of the Victorians performance for 2015. Like other Tales, that take place on Thursdays at 4:00p.m. at different venues throughout the summer, this will feature light refreshments and stories read by ELTC actors. Refreshments will be served in the hospitality room before the hour-long performance, and the performers reading selections from their favorite Poe stories are Lee O'Connor, James Rana, and Gayle Stahlhuth. Lee, also ELTC's technical director, is a favorite reader for Tales, and has portrayed Sherlock Holmes since ELTC began producing radio-style Holmes adventures in 2002. James is currently playing Tom, the owner of the Manhattan speakeasy in ETC's production of Strictly Dishonorable and his world premiere adaptation of Huckleberry Finn was recently produced by ELTC. Gayle has been the artistic director of this 35-year-old company since 1999, and will be performing The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus for the holidays.
