I bet you thought we were done with Mr. Edgar A. Poe. Well, you were wrong!

Tomorrow night, MICA will present an experimental performance piece inspired by "The Fall of the House of Usher," featuring artwork and sets by illustration students. Playwright and director David Drake, a Baltimore native, is at the helm of the free show, which begins at 8 p.m. Already have plans? They do it all over again Saturday night, also at 8.

Spend your Saturday afternoon at the Baltimore Museum of Art with award-winning author and teacher William Henry Lewis. The University of Maryland, College Park professor will conduct a writing class stimulated by works of art by black artists. Call 443-573-1832 or e-mail programs@artbma.org for more information about registration fees.

The Sun's own Michael Sragow will be at the Johns Hopkins Barnes & Noble Monday evening to discuss and sign his biography, Victor Fleming: An American Movie Master. I got my grandmother a copy for Christmas, and she was quite pleased; I was a little disappointed to hand it over.

And Tuesday afternoon, share thoughts and tea with children's author Susan L. Roth at The Peace Study Center on York Road. There will also be tours of the center available.
