The Lyric Theatre hosts An Immersive Theatrical Installation titled "Poe's Shadows" on Saturday, October 4, 2025 at The Lyric Theatre in Blacksburg, VA.
Featuring two of Edgar Allan Poe’s most well-known works, "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Raven", this theatrical installation immerses audience members in the dark, shadowy world of Poe. Curated and created by Virginia Tech faculty, students and staff.
The installation explores what happens when literary texts are lifted from the page to the stage and then reimagined through the use of new technology. The selected texts were curated and directed by theatre faculty members Amanda Nelson and Natasha Staley in collaboration with English faculty member Ashley Reed. Audience members will hear recordings of the texts, which were performed and recorded in 2018 by now former Virginia Tech students.
Free augmented reality books will also be available to enhance the experience (while supplies last).
The work will be presented starting approximately every 12-15 minutes from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Due to subject matter/tense situations, the work is recommended for ages 12 and up.
The Lyric Theatre is located at 135 College Avenue in Blacksburg, VA.
