For three days – on October 29, 30 and 31 – visitors are invited to enjoy the haunted past of one of the country’s grandest Victorian neighborhoods as spirits come back to life and share their eerie tales as told by local author David Dominé in his Ghosts of Old Louisville books. The Victorian Ghost Walk, a roughly 90-minute jaunt, features stops at many local landmarks mentioned in Dominé’s books. Sites include Floral Terrace, Central Park, Fountain Court, Millionaires Row, Central Park Bed and Breakfast and the Conrad-Caldwell House on St. James Court. Along the way, while strolling charming gas-lit streets and alleys, costumed guides and interpreters share ghostly stories and legends from a bygone era, and participants are invited inside a haunted home or two. Dominé himself will lead several of the groups, and other guides will include talented members of the Old Louisville Neighborhood. This production of the Victorian Ghost Walk is directed by Ronald Lew Harris, a respected director and actor in New York City for 30 years and a resident of Old Louisville. Tours form every 15 minutes at the Old Louisville Information Center 1340 South 4th Street in Central Park on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. The first group departs at 6:00 pm and the last one at 7:30 pm. Advance tickets are $20; day of the tour $25. For tickets and more information call 502-635-5244. Ticket proceeds will benefit the Old Louisville Neighborhood Council and the West St Catherine Neighborhood Association to support the mission of promoting and improving Old Louisville. * * * Old Louisville enjoys a reputation as one of the nation’s largest Victorian neighborhoods, and it is rumored to be its most haunted as well. With well over a thousand stately mansions and opulent residences from the late 1800s and early 1900s, it’s hardly surprising that many Old Louisville homes come with their own resident haint.

Evening shows are $14, matinees $10 and Seniors and students are $8. Order online at www.providencehigh.net or get them at the door. FREE PARKING! This version of Frankenstein is neither a strict adaptation of the original novel nor an update of the Universal Pictures version made famous by Boris Karloff, but does pay homage to both sources. It is a retelling of Shelley’s story that preserves many of its overlooked aspects combined with important scientific and Philosophical themes relevant in today’s world. Set in the 1800s, it tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, scientist extraordinaire, who questions modern Science and dares to harness the power of creation in an obsessed search to end the suffering people experience at the loss of loved ones. Fueled by the loss of his own parents and aided by physician and Priest Father Patrick, Victor turns away from his remaining family and friends to madly search for the secret behind life and death. What is at first a noble cause quickly turns into a series of horrific events leading to nightmare and madness. It is a timeless story that becomes a cautionary tale of morality and mortality and poses questions that are as true today as they were two hundred years ago. The script is a collaboration of many years’ work by three local writers who set out to write a version that is populated by real characters and true horror. John Hetzel, an alumnus of Providence, is the Director and Timothy Brown is Assistant Director. Both are excited to bring this production to the region and can’t wait to bring a new alternative to those who enjoy frightening theatre. The cast and crew include many Providence graduates and promises Thrills and Chills as well as addressing thought provoking issues.
