Center Theatre | Seattle Center Armory, 305 Harrison St., Seattle

Free event!! The Hours of Life, a new musical by Paul Lewis presented as an Orchestrated, Staged Reading. The Hours of Life weaves the story of the obsessive love affair between the original ‘goth-father’, Edgar Allan Poe and Rhode Island poet Sarah Helen Whitman. Set at the dawning of the Machine Age, the play reveals a fateful encounter in Poe’s past – one involving a German swindler and his sidekick, a Bavarian dwarf grand chess master, which threatens to doom whatever chance Poe and Whitman have of finding happiness together. Donations accepted. Contact info@theatre22.org.

—Events of today may lead people of conscience to virtual despair, but if you believe you are right, keep trying even if you think you will lose. Your efforts may be like raindrops falling on stone, but if others pick up the gauntlet, in time we can wear down the mountains of wrong—Uncommon Common Sense—J. Glenn Evans—
