The Great P.T. Barnum Returns To Virginia

Firehouse Theatre and the Branch Museum of Architecture and Design welcome magician/storyteller David London back to Richmond for a return engagement of his incredible immersive experience HUMBUG: The Great P.T. Barnum Seance for 8 performances only on Fri. 3/8 @ 7pm, Sat. 3/9 @ 5pm and 8pm, Sun. 3/10 @ 2pm and 5pm, Fri. 3/15 @ 7pm, Sat. 3/16 @ 5pm and 8pm. 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 around the seance table, 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 and for its limited run at The Branch this past fall. Richmond audiences now have another chance to experience this unique performance that's unlike anything you've seen before.

Seating is limited to 24 (12 inner circle/seance table seating @ $40 and 12 council/observer seating @ $25). 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.
