Off the page and onto the stage: Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy to transform Liberty Hall
POCATELLO — Edgar Allan Poe once said “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” This Saturday, Liberty Hall Event Center will transform into a shrouded sanctuary dedicated to the master of the macabre as The Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy arrives with an evening of suspense, stylish spirits and gothic storytelling. Guests are invited to step out of the ordinary and into the shadows for an immersive theater experience that brings four of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous works to life while they sip on expertly crafted spirits or bespoke mocktails. The Poe-focused performances will run at 2, 4, 6 and 8 p.m. Saturday at Liberty Hall, but only the 2 p.m. showing still has openings. General admission is $55 and tickets can be purchased at tinyurl.com/5fzbejkm . Each show will last between 75 and 90 minutes. The immersive experience begins as soon as patrons walk through the door. Incense drifts lazily throughout the room. A sullen shrine to Poe invites visitors to pick up an ink-dabbed quill and write the long-deceased author a note on parchment. Actors stay in character, requesting attendees’ reservations rather than simply scanning a ticket. Seating is first come, first

Idaho Museum of Natural History to mark Worldwide Day of Play with Mabon festival, new exhibits
POCATELLO — The Idaho Museum of Natural History at Idaho State University will take part in Our World: Worldwide Day of Play this Saturday, reopening a newly renovated gallery and unveiling new exhibitions as part of the international event. Worldwide Day of Play is built around joyful learning through play, encouraging kids and families to get up, get outside and take part in hands-on activities. As part of the celebration, the museum will host Mabon, a fall equinox festival, in partnership with the Shire of Stonegate. Visitors can watch warriors sparring in combat armor, see artisans demonstrate period crafts and try coloring pages designed to look like an illuminated manuscript, working alongside one of the group’s scribes. Admission to the museum’s revamped gallery, its newest community exhibition and the Waters of the West room will be free for the day. That new community exhibition, “Soul Connections: A Photographic Perspective of Japan,” features work by Boise-based photographers Frances Fujii and Dave Fujii. The exhibit guides visitors through Japan’s Hokkaido and Kansai regions, highlighting the country’s remote landscapes and its connection to nature, culture and rural life. The exhibition also includes items, images and stories from the Pocatello Iwamizawa Sister City Foundation.

History of the Eccles Hotel
In mid-April of 1916, the Eccles brothers, of Logan, Utah, announced that they had purchased a large block of ground on North Taylor Street to build a grand hotel that would cost around $100,000. Some local men would contribute to the construction cost, along with a Mr. Lohman, of Los Angeles. The local men quickly raised $25,000, which the Eccles brothers matched two to one. This was enough to get the project moving, and a start date was set for six weeks hence. One condition of the agreement, however, was that the block of Taylor Street to be in front of the hotel must be paved. At the time, Blackfoot had no paved streets at all.

Chief Theatre haunts Randy Dixon
POCATELLO — To say the history of the Chief Theatre in Pocatello haunts Randy Dixon would be accurate. Not only has Dixon combined forces with Jack McCurdy, Lance Holladay and Kristine Hunt to create a Facebook page and a display at the Bannock County Historical Museum dedicated to the history of the Chief Theatre, he was actually touched by a ghost inside the theater before it burned down in 1993.
