The experience begins in the Mansion’s Entrance Hall, where guests are welcomed by the house butler and introduced to the curious stories, unexplained occurrences, and questions that have long surrounded the Mansion. From there, visitors are received by Florence Mathews for an intimate evening salon devoted to Spiritualism.

Rather than conducting a traditional séance, Florence invites her guests to move through the Mansion, listening, observing, and discovering what may be waiting for them in its rooms. Along the way, classic works of Gothic literature unfold as immersive theatrical encounters. Characters and stories begin to intersect as themes of grief, obsession, madness, guilt, memory, and the supernatural echo from one room to the next. What begins as an elegant literary salon gradually becomes something more unsettling, as each scene illustrates a distinct belief or fear that shaped the era within the intimate setting of this historic landmark.

The evening will conclude in the Billiards Room, where guests will have an opportunity to purchase refreshments while reflecting on the history and mysteries encountered throughout their journey.

ArtSynergy Productions creates immersive, site-specific theatrical experiences that transform non-traditional venues into living stages. By blending storytelling, environment, and audience participation, we create meaningful shared experiences that celebrate local history, foster human connection, and bring communities together through the power of live theater.
