This adaptation of our annual historical tours introduces guests to the “Ghosts” of Danville’s past right on the Smokestack stage.
Come be a part of history! Ghosts & Gravestones: Last Rites* is a spinoff from our annual tradition produced by Smokestack Theatre Company. Each year we have had visitors that are unable to walk all of the tour comfortably or they cannot attend altogether, so we have added this special show that takes place indoors on our stage. Each ghost will share their story right on the stage and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the show! This show is intended for all ages, but parents should use discretion. If you have any questions about the content of these tours please reach out to us by emailing info@thesmokestack.org or calling 434.549.5445.
