NEVERMORE - The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe

A tell-tale musical profile and haunting reverie​

June 6 - 22, 2025

Written and composed by Jonathan Christenson
Picture
Nevermore – The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe
is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing Global. (www.broadwaylicensing.com)

Directed by Kory Weimer
Delve into the grim world of Edgar Allan Poe in this macabre musical inspired by his gothic poetry and prose. This surreal piece weaves together original music and dramatic storytelling to unravel the tortured life and untimely death of the legendary writer. Charting a course through Poe’s earliest memories, this show navigates themes of loss, addiction, and abandonment through poignant melodies and stunning visual imagery. As Poe’s troubled past and masterful creations intertwine, you will be transported to a mesmerizing place where reality and imagination collide. An Oregon premiere, Cottage Theatre’s Nevermore will take you on a gripping ride through “fantastic terrors never felt before.” 

Note: this show deals with some mature themes and is not recommended for young children.
