Travel back in time with Terry Borton, lead showman of the American Magic-Lantern Theater, for an authentic 1890s-style big-screen extravaganza. The magic-latern show is the direct ancestor of the movies, predating silent films. Sildes illustrate stories and songs, and a live showman and musician provide the soundtrack. This show will include such Victorian-era spooky stories as The Spector Pig, as well as sing-alongs such as "The Worms Crawl In."
