Step back in time and witness the spellbinding spectacle that inspired the birth of cinema! Join us for a real magic lantern show, a live performance that brings to life one of the most captivating forms of nineteenth-century visual entertainment.
Our special guest, professional lanternist Brett King (North Carolina), will present a mesmerizing program featuring adaptations of beloved fairy tales and holiday-themed slides celebrating Halloween and Christmas. The show will be accompanied by pianist and composer Tom Roberts, one of the world’s leading exponents of early jazz piano.
A family-friendly event recommended for kids 12 and up and for younger adventurers who aren't afraid of ghosts!
