Lo ’t is an annual meeting of The Raven Society in the sanctuary of Arts Mission Oak Cliff, where it’s rumored ghosts abound! A macabre evening centered on a rendering of Edgar Allan Poe’s legendary poem, “The Raven,” and interspersed with select sketches and scenes from his gothic art of romance, lore, and loss. Raven’s Night promises to be an immersive dinner theater experience, co-produced by Fair Assembly (Emily Ernst) and Arts Mission Oak Cliff (Avery-Jai Andrews), celebrating the arts of poetry and spoken word, theater, dance, and song. Join us for specialty Raven cocktails and elevated, eerie tavern fare from Boxwood Hospitality, and some spooktacular October fun. Beware of the bells, the ghosts of Poe, and the worm – it shall not be forgot!
