Limited Engagement!
Prepare yourselves, honored guests, for an adventure unlike any other, as the late John Hays Hammond Jr. comes to life for a gathering of his dearest friends and respected colleagues.
Within the medieval walls of Hammond’s castle home, secrets and curiosities await.
As you travel through the castle’s darkened corridors and rooms, you’ll encounter some of the most peculiar guests ever assembled.
Are they members of a secret society, social and Hollywood royalty, or leaders straddling the boundaries of science and the occult?
These mysterious figures have converged at Hammond Castle for a reason, and you’re about to find out why.
This unique promenade theater performance will transport you through time and space.
You’ll step into different rooms and meet a captivating cast of characters ranging from Hillman, Hammond’s loyal butler to the eccentric Hammond and his glamorous wife, Irene – each with their own extraordinary tale to share.
These stories have been expertly adapted by the talented Doug Cowell and are based on Hammond’s original ghost stories.
Hammond’s writing style, reminiscent of the 1920s Weird Tale and the 1950s Pulp Fiction offers a unique blend of supernatural intrigue and kitschy charm.
Beginning on the drawbridge, and leading through multiple rooms within, this walking, theatrical program runs just shy of 60 minutes in total.
Performances begin at 6 pm and run every 15 minutes through 9 pm.
Performances are limited to groups of 15 audience members at a time.
Each story is approximately 8 to 10 minutes long.
**Roaring 1920s and similar attire are encouraged!**
Our cast includes:
• Anthony Lentz: John Hays Hammond, Jr.
• Shari Chaplin: Mrs. Irene Hammond
• Lauren Casey: Reporter
• Michael Greene: Hilman
• Jim Tarantino: Sailor
• Alison Landoni: Mason
All proceeds from this program will support the restoration and preservation of the Museum.

Heavy traffic should be considered when planning your travel time. Take I-95 North out of Boston to Exit 45, then Route 128 North to Exit 14. Turn right onto Route 133 to the very end of that highway, and with the ocean directly in front of you turn right onto Route 127. Approximately 3/4 of a mile from that intersection the road will begin to narrow. Look for a blue and white sign on your left for the castle, and turn onto Hesperus Avenue. The Museum is just a few blocks down Hesperus Avenue on your left. Park in the lot off the street, and take the walkway and stairs down to the entrance.
