INDIANAPOLIS – Candlelight Theatre presents the spooktacular story, Ghost Tales of the Civil War by James Trofatter at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site on select dates in October. This full-length play is complete with candlelight, historical artifacts and the rich ambiance of President Harrison’s original furnishings, making it a one-of-a-kind theatre experience.
We all know that the Civil War lead to untold deaths and the memory of this horrible time still reverberates through the collective unconscious of Americans. Well, the dead are not satisfied with the state of the Union. Some have come as spirits, others as the walking dead, but come they have. They have focused their attention on the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site in order to make a statement.
Guests will travel from room to room enjoying performances throughout the National Historic Landmark home of President Benjamin Harrison, including up and down two flights of narrow stairs (elevator assistance is available). Guests will view shorter vignettes standing and longer scenes seated. The performances are approximately 70 minutes long. This performance is recommended for children age 10 and up due to the darkness of the home, length of the performance, and subject matter.
