SUMMARY:The Rockport Murder Mysteries
DESCRIPTION:Join 1623 Studios for the premiere of the newest installment of its award-winning Timeline: Cape Ann documentary series\, The Rockport Murder Mysteries. Based on the book Murder in Rockport\, Massachusetts: Terror in a Small Town by Robert Fitzgibbon and Wayne Soini\, the film explores one of Cape Ann’s most haunting unsolved crimes. \nOn May 21\, 1932\, Rockport tailor Arthur Oker was brutally murdered in his shop\, shocking the quiet seaside community. Little more than a year later\, another Rockport resident\, Augusta Johnson\, was murdered in her home. The two crimes sparked an extensive investigation that included searches throughout the town\, thousands of interviews\, and countless leads. Yet despite the extraordinary effort to find answers\, both murders remain unsolved more than 90 years later. \nProduced by 1623 Studios\, The Rockport Murder Mysteries brings this fascinating chapter of local history to life through archival photographs and extensive historical research\, revisiting the crimes that shook the Rockport community more than 90 years ago. \nFollowing the screening\, stay for a conversation with 1623 Studios producer Kory Curcuru and authors Robert Fitzgibbon and Wayne Soini\, as they discuss the history behind the murders\, the research that informed the book and documentary\, and the process of bringing this remarkable local story to the screen. \nProceeds from ticket sales will benefit 1623 Studios and help support its mission to provide community media\, local programming\, and opportunities for people across Cape Ann to share their stories. \nProgram Length: Approximately 85 minutes\, followed by a post-screening discussion. There will be no intermission.

SUMMARY:Costumes & Candlelight: Hammond Castle Museum After Dark

Unfortunately\, we are unable to accommodate late arrivals. If you miss the start of your timed session\, you will not be admitted at another time. Please note: all ticket sales are final\, refunds are not offered\, and exchanges for other tour times are not permitted.

SUMMARY:Spookley the Square Pumpkin
DESCRIPTION:Based on the wildly popular books and animated special\, Spookley The Square Pumpkin: The Musical combines the spectacle and joy of Halloween with delightful songs that people of all ages will love! Airing every year on Disney\, the animated television special\, adapted from the bestselling Spookley book series\, has been a long time Halloween tradition for families all across the country. A Theatre For Young Audiences (TYA) musical with a big heart\, Spookley The Square Pumpkin: The Musical is no tricks and nothing but a treat for all ages! \nSpookley The Square Pumpkin: The Musical tells the story of a square pumpkin living in a round pumpkin patch on Holiday Hill Farm. Shunned by the other pumpkins\, Spookley is befriended by Edgar\, Allan and Poe\, three hilarious spiders who convince him that\, square or not\, he has a right to be the Pick of the Patch. Encouraged by kindly Jack Scarecrow\, Spookley tries his best\, but he isn’t sure he has what it takes until a mighty storm threatens Holiday Hill Farm. Spookley realizes it is up to him and his square shape to save the day. As a result\, all the pumpkins in the patch learn that the things that make you different make you special. \nSaturday\, October 24th at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM\, Sunday\, October 25th at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
