The Visiting Artist Series invites you to “An Evening with Gwendolyn?” on March 27 at 8:30 PM in Salter Hall. No tickets are required!
Gwendolyn Crosley, wife of inventor Powel Crosley, throws the most outrageous parties. Last night’s séance was no exception. It’s a shame she didn’t get to speak with her favorite author, Edgar Allan Poe. She did make contact with an enigmatic friend of his, Sarah Royster. Alas, the encounter was brief and Gwendolyn returned home alone. Or did she? Come on in, dearies. The drinks are cold, the stories hot, and there’s always room for one more.
