LOCATION:Hayner Library\, 132 Alton Square\, Alton\, IL 62002
DESCRIPTION:Genealogy & Local History Library\, 401 State Street\, Alt
on Tuesday\, October 27\, 2026\, 6:30 p.m. Please note – Because this 
program is presented entirely from memory\, concentration by the perfo
rmer is critical. In order to assist with this\, this program is limit
ed to patrons aged thirteen and older. With the lights turned down and
the Gothic-style architecture of the Genealogy & Local History Librar
y adding to the ambiance\, patrons are in for an atmospheric treat as 
Anne Williams\, historic interpreter and performer\, will recite drama
tically\, from memory\, several works by the author Edgar Allan Poe as
well as scenes from another October favorite\, The Legend of Sleepy H
ollow\, by Washington Irving. Poe’s stories will include The Tell-Tale
Heart\, The Black Cat\, The Raven\, and others. This is Anne’s second
time performing at Hayner Library. Her performance last year was so w
ell-received that we have invited her back for an encore presentation—
one you won’t want to miss! Anne has shared the authors’ stories and p
oems with audiences at historic sites in New York\, Philadelphia\, Ric
hmond\, and regionally in Missouri and Illinois. She has worked with t
he National Park Service\, St. Louis Public Radio\, and many historic 
sites on various projects\, including dramatic recitation of literatur
e and historic speeches\, creating and performing in short plays\, rec
onstructing historic events\, film narration\, and a complete audio pr
oduction of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Anne has collaborated with Bal
let 314 and Opera Theater Saint Louis. Seating is limited. Please call
1-800-613-3163 to register for this program.\n\nEvent details: https:
