Well, I'm officially an orphan now. Mom died, leaving me a complex estate to settle. But in the end, it'll be World Tour for Johnny and his gang of iconoclasts! And, of course, I'm keeping busy with the Poe Bicentennial Celebration!

For more info visit The Poe House Bicentennial Site or Baltimore City's Bicentennial Site. The first weekend was a fantastic success, and there are many more events to come -- "Some Words With a Mummy," "The Fall of the House of Usher" (performed in the actual cemetery where Poe is buried), "The Tell Tale Court Case" and Poe's Funeral in October! Here are some rehearsal photos of "Some Words With A Mummy"
And here's a shot of John with Gomez Addams, the Incomparable John Astin!
And, as if that's not enough, the Professor is busy entertaining the masses each and every month at the world-famous Palace of Wonders and Dime Museum!
