Gettysburg

Welcome to Colchester, a small town where everybody knows each other and the pace of life allows the pursuit of love to take up as much space as it needs. Our tour guide is Suzanne, the town photographer, who lets us peek into her neighbors’ lives to catch glimpses of romance in all its stages of development. A play about love, nostalgia, the seasons and how we learn to say goodbye.

Join Count Fred, “Count Dracula’s Not-So-Famous Cousin,” as he tries to scare you into a terrifying Halloween.  Unfortunately, Count Fred is not all that scary and his stories seem to delight more than frighten.  In The Halloween Show, performed by Popcorn Hat Players, children help tell the story of “How Little Ghost Lost His BOO!”, and also lend a hand in solving the mystery of “The Case of the Missing Trick-Or-Treat Candy.”
