Haunted Histories: Condemned

Know before you go In-person event Location: 128 Essex Street, Salem $49 members and Salem residents (with valid ID); $59 nonmembers Tickets are nonrefundable. © 2024 Peabody Essex Museum. Photo by Michaela Berry. The courtyard is haunted... again. You came to Salem to enjoy the Halloween season, but have you enjoyed yourself a little too much? Enter a prison existing in liminal space, holding murderers, cult leaders and madmen. Tonight you will find yourself “locked” in the courtyard until sunrise, unless you can assist the Warden to find a crucial piece of evidence to tie a murderer to the most dastardly of crimes, which took place steps away from where you stand... Houses featured in this program include the Gardner-Pingree House (1806), John Ward House (1684), Quaker Meeting House (about 1688) and Derby–Beebe Summer House (1799). Playwright and Co-Director: Arielle Kaplan Showrunner / The Warden: Cari Keebaugh This performance includes sudden flashes, loud noises and fire effects. These historic properties are not wheelchair accessible and will require visitors to ascend several steps to enter. Once inside, floors may be uneven and the space will be tight. Guests will need to stand while in some houses. This program includes low lighting in the houses and courtyard. Actors will not be using microphones. No restrooms are available on PEM property. The storytelling experience lasts about 70 minutes. Please note, these stories are intended for mature audiences and contain themes (murder, violence and gore, suicide, cult activity) that some may find disturbing. Discretion is advised. Guests must arrive 15 minutes prior to their ticketed time. Tickets are single-entry; guests are not permitted to leave and return except to seek out restroom facilities. Rain or shine, we’ll see you there! Learn more about all our events happening this fall at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pem.org/halloween">pem.org/halloween</a>.
