See ESME'S LAST SEANCE through this Sunday only! 🌛🔮🎺Reserve your tickets in advance at sewer-rats.com to make sure you get a seat! We have four shows remaining until we close on Sunday, 10/27. Tonight, Friday, and Saturday at 8pm or Sunday at 3pm.

Inspired by the real experiment conducted by Thomas Lynn Bradford and Ruth Doran in 1921, this world premiere play by Philadelphia playwright Evelyn Richardson takes us to a stately manor where five occultists gather, joining hands and lighting candles to pierce the veil into that unknown country which none of us has ever seen, yet all of us must ever go.

BUT their earnest attempts are thwarted by the jazz party next door, played live backstage by Krista Antenucci on trumpet, Jason Das on guitar, and Sequoyah Leaf on clarinet 🎺🪕🎶

Esme's Last Seance is an original drama that delves into questions of love, loss, and afterlife as Esme's unwavering faith is challenged by companions who refuse to believe that she can make contact with the man she loves even after his death.

Tickets are available now, including Pay What You Can tickets for every show at sewer-rats.com 🔮📚🕯️🐀
