Testimonials
“The detail was incredible... from the cobblestone under my feet to the chestnut foyer lit by gaslight… and the atmosphere was even better inside with dark velvets, antique woodwork, and the eerie tree glowing with a hundred tiny lanterns.”
“The meal was wonderful, but it’s the séance that nearly brought me to tears.”
“As we put out our candles, I really felt a connection to this make-believe spirit world. The ghost’s story was really moving.”
“The entire night felt real, like stepping into another world. The emotions were profound and the experience left a real impression. I'm still thinking about it weeks later, remembering what was said and the people I met. I learned this performance may unlock even more Friends of Autumn events held around Philadelphia, including a secret Halloween ball that goes way over the top, so we still keep in touch looking forward to the next show.”
