Firehouse Theatre and Branch Museum of Architecture and Design Welcome P.T. Barnum to Richmond
Firehouse Theatre and the Branch Museum of Architecture and Design welcome magician/storyteller David London for the Richmond premiere of his HUMBUG: The Great P.T. Barnum Seance for 5 performances only on Thu. 10/4 @ 7pm, Fri. 10/5 @ 7pm, Sat. 10/6 @ 7pm, and Sun. 10/7 @ 4pm and 7pm. All performances take place at The Branch, located at 2501 Monument Ave, Richmond, VA 23220.
In this performance David London, with the help of those seated in the inner circle, summons the spirit of legendary showman P.T. Barnum and his bizarre associates who'll share true stories from their amazing lives.
HUMBUG was a sold-out hit at the Peale Museum in Baltimore. Now Richmond audiences have a chance to experience this unique performance that's unlike anything you've seen before.
Seating is limited to 36 (18 inner circle/seance table seating @ $50 and 18 council/observer seating @ $35 / Firehouse members receive $10 discount per ticket). Tickets are available at https://barnum.bpt.me or by calling 804.355.2001. Recommended for ages 16+. Free parking is available in the lot adjacent to The Branch labeled First Baptist Parking.
David London is a storyteller and magician who creates and presents original interactive magical experiences. He's staged six original theatrical magic productions including MAGIC OUTSIDE THE BOX, THE ADVENTURES TO THE IMAGI NATION, CEREBRAL SORCERY, and ART OF DREAMS. London has authored eight manuscripts related to magic and illusion including Daydreams, Borderland State, and Imagining the Imagination. He regularly presents his performances, talks, workshops, and seances at theaters, museums, galleries, and festivals across the United States.
