Magic of Words: An Edgar Allan Poe Mentalism Show
Written & performed by Alex Zavistovich

October 18 & 19, 2024
8PM Fri & Sat Oct 18 & 19

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

Have you ever talked about a book you read with someone who has also read it? You come to a part you both love, and for a minute you’re transported to that place. You’ve made a real mental connection; you’re sharing the same energy.

Are you ready to learn more about the Magic of Words?

Alex Zavistovich is the Artistic Director of The National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre. In this family-friendly mentalism show, running approximately one hour, we’ll use real books to predict audience word choices, duplicate drawings, make things disappear, and even cause audience members to share the same thoughts. And we’ll learn something about Edgar Allan Poe along the way.

Ticket prices: $24 General Admission, $22 Seniors/Military, $12 Student/Youth. Buy tickets here.
