After we finish The Crucible unit this week -- the end of the first quarter -- we will be taking a break from the Puritanism of 17th century Salem and turning to the American Gothic works of Edgar Allan Poe before we dive into The Scarlet Letter (also set in 17th century Salem). Late October seems to be a suitable time to study the "master of horror and suspense."In order to supplement the Poe unit I'm going to organize a high-school night out to see the new one-man Poe show at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company on Race St. downtown. I'm looking at Friday, October 30 and Sunday, November 1 as possible dates. The shows are at 7:30 on both days. Student tickets are $15 -- a great price!
Stay tuned for further information on how to obtain tickets. We're inquiring into getting a block of tickets for one of these nights; so, please let me know ASAP if any of you see any obvious scheduling conflicts for one night or the other.
