and other works By Edgar Allan Poe
7pm door; 8pm performance
Tickets: $15 available at door (Alwun House members free)
Directed by Robert X. Planet
Starring Baron Dixon, Joy Bingham Strimple and Wanda McHatton
Audio Brian Popovec
Teeming hordes of ravenous rats suddenly swarming from a stinking sewer may provide strange salvation for a hapless soul who wakes to find himself strapped into a diabolical device while the razor-like blade of a mechanized overhead pendulum slashes inexorably closer in Poe’s harrowing suspense yarn set in a Toledo torture dungeon during the Spanish Inquisition. The Pit and the Pendulum highlights an evening of dramatic readings performed by costumed professional actors, enhanced with stage set and original sound score.
The Halloween-themed program of iconic Poe classics also features a rare, “distaff” adaptation of The Cask of Amontillado performed by women, plus poems including “The Conqueror Worm,” “Alone,” “Imitation” and “The Raven.” And finally, by popular demand, the entire ensemble will reprise a rollicking audience favorite that premiered in Planet Poe’s MADHOUSE program in 2012: A multi-character dramatization of The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether, the hilarious—and scandalously ribald—chronicle of an innocent abroad who becomes embroiled in bizarre escapades while touring an insane asylum known for employing an outlandish experimental therapy.
Champagne reception follows the performance. Monsters Menagerie art exhibit showing in Gallery.

PLANET POE presents
Edgar Allan Poe’s Theory of Everything
Tickets: $8 advance – $12 available at door
Door opens at 7. Show starts promptly at 8 p.m.
This special program of dramatic readings, performed by costumed professional voice actors, is enhanced with visual effects and an original sound score. Directed by Robert X. Planet, starring Joy Bingham Strimple, Baron Dixon and Wanda McHatton, with Special Guest Manuel Paul Arenas. Audio, Brian Popovec.
The title piece is a light-hearted, eye-opening examination of “Eureka,” Poe’s bombastic and stunningly prophetic lecture on God and the Cosmos—a long-overlooked gem that is only now being recognized for its genius and jaw-dropping insight. PLANET POE, an Alwun House tradition since 2000, kicks off its seventeenth anniversary season with this Steampunk-styled show spotlighting just a few of the beloved Bard of Baltimore’s lesser-known works that illuminate his true genius.
Although better known for his chilling horror stories and eerily romantic poetry, Poe had a brilliant scientific mind. Incredibly, he imagined quantum mechanics and the Big Bang/Big Crunch model of cyclic multiverse theory—in logical terms, and with startling clarity—more than a century before modern scientists even began to theorize about any of them! Amazingly, he also predicted bionic limbs, the transatlantic cable, magnetic propulsion, 300-MPH bullet trains, space travel and extraterrestrial life!
A Champagne Reception follows the performance. Intertemporalist Steampunk Exhibit in Gallery.

Today’s “Steampunk” cultural aesthetic draws from the parallel social angst of early industrializing 19th Century’s ‘awe struck’ impact of the overwhelming power of stream-driven technologies, and 21st Century overwhelming digital-internet revolution impacting us today. Steampunk’s sensibilities are constantly evolving, with adaptations through all the arts.

“Alwun House Foundation stands as an exemplary model of engaging the power of art to transform lives and transform community. For more than 40 years, the Alwun House foundation has created opportunities for artists, and served as a pivotal beacon in the Garfield community and as a foundation for the downtown Phoenix arts scene. Their work extends across artistic and cultural boundaries, and brings diverse audiences, community members and artists together. Without the pioneering work of Alwun House, much of what is taken for granted in the vibrancy and success of downtown’s flourishing arts community would not have been possible.” Governor’s Arts Award, 2013
Beyond a “temporary” Infill Park, our multipurpose project has already received unanimous zoning approvals and neighborhood support. Envision green Sonoran landscape, community gardens, shaded open space for downtown community gatherings, art installations, performances, workshops, festivals, food trucks, artists and vendors, and parking most of the time.
This transformative development will finally be realized with individual grass-roots support, sponsors, and community-minded contributors. With any pledge, small or large, your cultural legacy is acknowledged.
This project would provide essential economic boost to the community and Alwun House for the next 40+ years. We are only lacking $60,000 to match a $100,000 grant before we celebrate breaking ground. If interested in placing your name on a legacy $100 brick, or $1,000 specimen tree.
Leave your footprint in Alwun House's Green Art Park and help develop the park one brick at a time.
