Local singer shares stage with Emmy winner

By Terry Morris | Monday, January 18, 2010, 10:40 AM

Singer and songwriter David Poe, who grew up in Dayton, is far more than an apparition despite playing a ghost in the new musical “Whisper House.”

He is one of the featured performers in the show, which stars Emmy Award winner Mare Winningham.

The live stage premiere is under way through Feb. 21 at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego.

Set during World War II in a New England lighthouse, the show’s songs are all performed by the ghosts — Holly Brook and Poe.

A graduate of Miami University, Poe is the son of longtime Sinclair Community College president David Ponitz and community arts advocate Doris Ponitz. He has recorded several albums.
