What’s Hot and How to Get There: St. Paddy’s Edition

So we missed Friday, but here’s a Transit Oriented Weekend roundup that will include Monday, St. Patrick’s Day, to make up for it. Enjoy Responsibly, Take Public Transit. If you have an event that you think should be included in next weeks T.O.W., email us at metrorider@elhay.net.

Tonight

• WHAT’S HOT: Poefest
  WHERE: Zombie Joes Underground Theater
  WHEN: “The Pit and the Pendulum” 8:30pm (also 6:30pm on Sunday); “The Tell-tale Heart & The Bells” 6:30pm (also 4:30pm on Sunday)
  WHY: A homage to the late-great master of horror, Edgar Allan Poe. Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre Group has
  selected two of Poe’s most dynamic tales to perform: THE TELL-TALE HEART, the story of an unnamed narrator who insists on his sanity after murdering an old man with a vulture eye, and THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, a tale of a prisoner in a dark room containing a large blade-like pendulum that pushes him closer and closer to falling into a deep pit. Each of his frightening tales of terror are told, word for word, in a stylized “performance fusion” with the group’s signature staging, choreography, and an original musical score.
