Prepare yourselves, honored guests, for an adventure unlike any other, as the late John Hays Hammond
Jr. comes to life for a gathering of his dearest friends and respected colleagues. Within the medieval
walls of Hammond’s castle home, secrets and curiosities await.
As you travel through the castle’s darkened corridors and rooms, you’ll encounter some of the most
peculiar guests ever assembled. Are they members of a secret society, social and Hollywood royalty, or
leaders straddling the boundaries of science and the occult? These mysterious figures have converged
at Hammond Castle for a reason, and you’re about to find out why.
This unique promenade theater performance will transport you through time and space. You’ll step into
different rooms and meet a captivating cast of characters ranging from Hillman, Hammond’s loyal butler
to the eccentric Hammond and his glamorous wife, Irene – each with their own extraordinary tale to
share. These stories have been expertly adapted by the talented Doug Cowell and are based on
Hammond’s original ghost stories. Hammond’s writing style, reminiscent of the 1920s Weird Tale and the
1950s Pulp Fiction offers a unique blend of supernatural intrigue and kitschy charm.
Beginning on the drawbridge, and leading through multiple rooms within, this walking, theatrical program
runs just shy of 60 minutes in total. Performances begin at 6 pm and run every 15 minutes through 9 pm.
Performances are limited to groups of 15 audience members at a time. Each story is approximately 8 to
10 minutes long. **Roaring 1920s and similar attire are encouraged!**
Our cast includes:
Anthony Lentz: John Hays Hammond, Jr.
Shari Chaplin: Mrs. Irene Hammond
Lauren Casey: Reporter
Michael Greene: Hilman
Jim Tarantino: Sailor
Alison Landoni: Mason
All proceeds from this program will support the restoration and preservation of the Museum.
