    Incredible show!! It will make your spine tingle! I highly recommend for horror and history fans alike. I really enjoyed the immersive and spooky experience — consider volunteering when audience participation is required for some extra witchy fun! One of my favorite shows I’ve seen so far!

    The cast and crew drop you right into the world of a Fox Sisters show through the great stage design and costumes! The use of stage, space, lighting, music, and audience participation kept me on the edge of my seat the entire show. The magic and effects were really spooky and gave me a fun fright several times! While the show feels intense and dark, there is a nice balance of sweet comedic moments and characters, and the underlying hope for the Fox sisters’ relationship and their futures. The acting and performances for this show are really stellar and captivating. I was brought to tears several times and moved by the emotion, fear, grief and darkness each character gave on stage. I highly recommend this show!

    “The Seance Sisters” is a riveting theatrical production, and masterfully transports the audience to an enigmatic world where the Fox Sister Mediums captivated America with their spellbinding seances. This play, a tour de force of narrative and performance, weaves a tapestry of mysticism, drama, and historical intrigue. The cast delivers mesmerizing performances, breathing life into the mystique of the American Spiritualism Movement. The production’s nuanced direction and evocative set create an atmosphere that is both haunting and mesmerizing, capturing the audience’s imagination from the first ethereal whisper to the climactic final seance. This is an enchanting homage to an era of supernatural fascination, and a must-see for theatre aficionados!!

    The actresses in this performance were absolutely astonishing! Everyone brought their A-game and absolutely crushed their performances. I laughed, I cried, I gasped! Fantastic story, blending history, the supernatural, and reality all together into a delicious cocktail. A must see at future Fringe festivals!

    Thought provoking, beautifully acted and articulated. The writer experienced, inhabited this story.
    This truth.

    Thank you – history & these sometimes overlooked stories need to be heard! History does repeat and hopefully with the stories from the past , we can be wiser with the next generation of Charlatans, hopefully

    Costumes – set – props – special effects- etc … incredible!

    Talent on stage – outstanding!

    Safe travels to Mn (my Home too) & ongoing journey to Indianapolis,
