Gary Allan Poe, a co-founder of the renowned Oldcastle Theatre Company, has been gracing the stage for nearly half a century. With an impressive professional debut in 1968 at the New York Shakespeare Festival, he has since enchanted audiences with his performances in various Shakespearean plays, including "Romeo & Juliet" and "Macbeth." Gary has also showcased his talent in productions like "Other People's Money" at the Ivoryton Playhouse in Essex, CT. While the connection between Gary Allan Poe and Edgar Allan Poe remains a mystery, he proudly traces his lineage back to a notable figure from the 16th century - the Undersheriff of Nottingham.
