Strawbery Banke Museum's History Theatre Presents: "Come Night Fall" - October 8th-24th.

New Production is a Thrilling Intimate Theatre Experience Not to be Missed! "Come Night Fall" written by Harbor Light Stage Director, Kent Stephens, concerns a young museum guide and historian, Caitlin, renting an apartment on the third floor of the Chase House, who becomes convinced that a real ghost is haunting the property. At the same time, her friend Jay, an archeologist, has discovered an unusual relic. Their quest to solve both mysteries takes them on a journey into the late 1760's, as they open a window into a shadowy chapter of colonial history - and unearth a surprising, moving story.
