Take a dark and mysterious journey into the life of Edgar Allan Poe. "Nevermore" begins at the end of Poe's life, when the master of horror was found semiconscious in Baltimore on Oct. 3, 1849. This imaginative musical uses Poe's poetry and short stories as its base and his shifting obsession with the women in his life as its catalyst. With hauntingly beautiful melodies, "Nevermore" breathes new life into Poe's work and explores a twisted true-life tale that is as bizarre as his classic stories of the macabre.

The title is drawn from Poe's famous poem, "The Raven," about the bird with a knack for omen.

Sharon Albaladejo directs "Nevermore."
