BarnDoor Theatre Presents: “Ghost Stories”!
GHOST STORIES
The Legend of Oliver’s Landing
A musical chiller
by David Jacklin
August 5-21
Ghost Stories is a full-on, Broadway-style musical, all based on a local legend. It has been a huge success in numerous previous productions:
In 1833, John Oliver and his wife were making a comfortable living ferrying travellers across Big Rideau Lake at a place people called, naturally enough, Oliver’s Landing. They were both murdered in a dispute involving a Native woman and their dead son. When the cabin was torn down, years later, a “large number” of skeletons were found in the basement. David Jacklin has turned this local legend into a chilling, soaring piece of musical theatre, dramatic, funny and filled with exciting music. A major hit in 1984 and 1992, it has been revamped for 2016 with some new music and an exciting new libretto.
