King Hooper Ghost Gallery
Presented by Marblehead Arts Association
King Hooper Mansion
October 22nd, 28th, 29th · 6–9:15pm
Lions, Tigers, and Bears? OH MY! But Ghosts, Pirates, and Ghouls? Oh YES! Join us as the Marblehead Arts Association showcases its most bewildering talent, unleashing looming ghosts, haunting spirits, and barbaric pirates from Marblehead’s past. We are excited to be hosting the eerie King Hooper’s Ghost Gallery on October 22nd, 28th and 29th in no place more suitable than King Hooper’s Mansion. These ghostly individuals both in body and spirit will put on 45 minute performances with shows starting every 15 minutes from 6–9:15 p.m.
Not only will dark creatures rise up from below to entertain, “The Pirates Of Marblehead” will be traveling from the year 1704 to pay us a special visit! Chanting sea songs and barking of fortunes, eating their grub not with forks but with their bare hands these pirates are a sight to see.
A barbaric appearance it is yet fun and one you do not want to miss! Come join us in a “cheers” to our Pirate friends. Follow the laughs of “Yo-ho-ho” to the lower level of King Hooper’s Mansion during the event to meet these lads and wenches.
“Ghastly ghosts, menacing spirits, and rude pirates”!? I know what you’re thinking. . . . Not to worry, this is a family friendly event. However, it is recommended for children 6 and over.
Tickets are $16 for adults and $12 for children under 12. Call 781-631-2608 to place your order. Group rates are available.
