Second Sight by Ryan Mangan
October 19–22, 2023
The restless spirits first invoked by the Eddy Brothers, the Chittenden, Vermont spiritualists who mesmerized the world with their séances in the 1870s and 1880s visited Town Hall Theater October 19–22, just in time for Halloween!
The world premiere of Ryan Mangan’s Second Sight recreated the thrill and mystery of these encounters with the spirit world, where hundreds of rational, intelligent observers swore they saw and touched dozens of manifested spirits.
Were the Eddy brothers frauds, or were they the greatest miracle of the 19th Century?
The audience is still trying to find a satisfactory answer!
The cast included Michael Eaton, Evan Breault, Jillian Torres, Ethan DeWitt, Ryan Mangan, Piper Harrell, Stephen Kelly, Mary Morris, Tomas McElhaney, Leila McVeigh, Meghan Kennedy, Beth Diamond, and Jon Fenner. Kim Moyer directed.
