On October 29, 2016, Experience Theatre Project invited the spirits of Edgar Allen Poe, Emily Bronte, Mary Shelley, and Bram Stoker to decarli restaurant in Beaverton for a night of storytelling and revelry to benefit ETP's 2017 Shakespeare in the Round production. Guests dressed in Victorian finery, savored delicious food, sipped cocktails, and mingled amongst the most popular horror authors of the Gothic era. A silent auction featured gift cards, growlers, and even a pair of wings that guests bid up and took home.
