The actors of Fruita-based Zephyr Stage at Cavalcade were thrilled to be invited by the Geeks of the Grand Valley to take part in The Poe Project, Oct. 1-7.

The company’s performances are usually live, but at this time, for the safety of their audience and performers, they will be sharing their work online. Three Zephyr Stage artists, Raquel Benham, Kim Nuzzo and Valerie Nuzzo, have each created multiple entries in an original film called “Poe-mythology: nothing stays buried.”

Entries include several of Poe’s poems set to original music by Raquel Benham. Don’t miss The Raven featuring Kim Nuzzo, and a retelling of The Tell-Tale Heart by guest artist K.L. Benham. Our guide through the presentation is poet and playwright Valerie Nuzzo channeling poet Ida Hilda Gruffershaugen who channels Lizzie “never Elizabeth” Doten who channels Edgar “Fast Eddie” Allan Poe.

Zephyr Stage Artistic Director Valerie Nuzzo said, “The film is free to watch. If people enjoy it, we hope they’ll share it with friends and family, and if folks can help at this time, we hope they’ll donate to Cavalcade in Fruita.” Cavalcade is an all-volunteer nonprofit performing arts venue created by Fruita residents dedicated to giving the community a unique place for all ages to experience and participate in high quality live music, plays, poetry, comedy, and - above all - a place to be inspired, learn and have fun!
