For Final Dates of Phantoms by Firelight
| |
|
Sturbridge, M.A. – Inspired by the mythology of the mid-19th century “New England Vampire Panic,” Cyrkus Vampyr is the newest immersive theatrical experience to take over Old Sturbridge Village (OSV) during this year’s Phantoms by Firelight event. The performance tells the story of a mysterious group of performers who appear and begin to take over the Village, following the death of a local girl. Guests are invited to come and see these thrilling performers – visiting from the NYC theater and nightlife scene – for four final event dates on Oct. 28-30 from 4:30-9:00 p.m. and Oct. 31 from 5:00-9:00 p.m.
Written and directed by P.J. Griffith and produced by ClockJack Productions, American Circus Theatre and Old Sturbridge Village, Cyrkus Vampyr features thrilling stunts and exciting acts by cast members, including:
