We Immersed Ourselves in 1920s Opulence...
In 2021, audiences joined us in 1928 as we brought together magic and ghostly mayhem with the return of our 2018 production of The Rise of Houdini. The evening began with craft 1920s-themed cocktails, featuring gin rickeys, old fashioned, and some top shelf whiskey. At 7pm, the ladies (and men) of burlesque captured the attention of all, then we set up to welcome back the spirit of Harry Houdini from the dead. Our necromancer Craig Martin attempted to raise the magic master, but things went horribly wrong, and only the dead spoke of their personal tales of loss and love.
