Don't forget! FPPL Teens will be performing a night of Edgar Allen Poe Theater with Reader's Theater versions of The Tell-Tale Heart and The Cask of Amontillado, and a recitation of "The Raven" on October 22nd. Spooky refreshments will be served, but you should probably leave your black cats at home.
