Edgar Allan Poe’s Literary Classics

at Larchmont Woman’s Club

 September 22, 2011 -- Jean McCabe and Bill Kozy, creative Westchester performers known as “The Footlights,” will present some of the classic works of the master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, on October 21 at the Larchmont Woman’s Club.  Their innovative performance of  “The Raven” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” will be set in an old-fashioned radio station with the ominous sound effects in full view.  The poignant rhythms of “Annabelle Lee” will be intensified with music and dance. Poe, in his 40 short years, was a poet, novelist, short story writer, playwright, editor, and literary critic. He has been in print since 1827 and is widely acclaimed to be the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre.

Jean McCabe, an actress and dancer, formerly danced with the Joffrey and Stuttgart ballet companies. Bill Kozy, a film soundman, is also an actor and standup comic who performs at theaters and clubs in the tri-state area.

The program will be at the Larchmont Avenue Church, 60 Forest Park Ave., following the   club’s monthly meeting at 1:30 pm. The public is invited at no charge.  For more information, call 834-0192 or visit WomansClubofLarchmont.org.
