In The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, Jim Short, left, plays the title role, and Michael Whitten plays many roles. The Lexington Children's Theatre production incorporates three Poe stories.

Halloween stuff leads off this week in central Kentucky, with the Lexington Children's Theatre presenting Tales of Edgar Allan Poe.  There's also a revival of SummerFest's Rocky Horror Show at Busters Billiards and Backroom and the 10th annual Downtown Thriller Parade. Transylvania University also opens “Almost, Maine”, a popular play written by John Carini.  Offering a preview of these events is Rich Copley, who reports on culture for the Lexington Herald Leader.
