Ticket sales start Monday, September 18th, at the Elko Chamber of Commerce, $40/Ticket – Cash or check only. Performance dates available are Oct 5th, 6th, 7th & 12th.

Poe & Pints is an evening of dramatic interpretations of Edgar Allan Poe and other gothic authors’ works mixed with a craft beer tasting. In 2023, the show will highlight local authors and will be steeped in blood. This night of the macabre will leave you wondering, "What darkness lurks in all of us, just below the skin?"

Hosted by the Duncan Little Creek Gallery, Nick Heguy will return as cicerone to lead the evening through a curated list of four craft beer selections to give you a break from the horror and tantalize the palate.

We are excited to see you all there!
