Victorian Halloween Magic-Lantern Show!
Travel back in time with the family-friendly fun of America’s only Victorian magic-lantern show. An authentic 1890s visual extravaganza projected on a full-sized screen the kind of show that led to the movies! Spooktacular Halloween stories like Poe’s The Raven, bizarre animated comedy and outrageous songs all dramatized on screen by a live showman and singer/pianist. The audience participates in the fun, creating sound effects, and joining in chants and hilarious sing-alongs like The Worms Crawl In. ~~ For 18 years, The American Magic-Lantern Theater has delighted audiences from Lincoln Center to Singapore. It’s an incredible experience . . . Don’t miss them. They’re a living national treasure! For adults and children 6+.
