Staten Island OutLOUD is proud to receive our third award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

We’re hosting The Big Read in our community this fall & winter, featuring Stories & Poems of Edgar Allan Poe: Sept 2013 – Feb 2014.

We’ve presented performance art, readings, concerts, two voyages to Poe’s Cottage in the Bronx, book discussions, film screenings, an OutLOUD performance in the fabulous Morgan Library & Museum, a tour of an historic cemetery, a Poe seance, a zombie fest, film screenings, and special events for very young readers.

Although we initially planned to complete our Poe Big Read in November, 2013, so many people asked for more – Poe is huge on Staten Island!  So we’re hosting A Little Mo’ Poe – Some interesting new events in Jan-Feb 2014. Check our schedule for updates.  Join us, and bring family & friends!  All our events are free.
