SUMMARY:The Ghosts of Smithfield House: A New Original Musical
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Resurrection Theatre at the California Stage Complex in Midtown Sacramento\, running from Oct 9 – Oct 31st. \n\nEver wanted to feel like you stepped straight into an episode of your favorite supernatural series?​A haunted house. A skeptical ghost hunter. A charming spirit with unfinished business. \n\n\nThe Ghosts of Smithfield House is a haunting new musical that blends mystery\, humor\, heart\, and the supernatural into an unforgettable theatrical experience. When paranormal investigator and college professor Macy Carter arrives at the infamous Smithfield House\, she expects little more than creaking floorboards\, cold drafts\, and overblown ghost stories. What she doesn’t expect is the ghost of Captain Daniel Smithfield—a charming 19th-century spirit whose past may be more tangled with the house than even he may realize.​As buried secrets rise to the surface and the walls of Smithfield House begin to reveal their history\, Macy finds herself caught between past and present\, logic and belief\, and a growing connection that defies time itself. But not every spirit in the house is as welcoming\, and some ghosts prefer to keep the past exactly where it belongs.​Part supernatural mystery\, part romantic comedy\, and full of haunting melodies and heartfelt surprises\, The Ghosts of Smithfield House invites audiences into a campy supernatural world where love\, loss\, and unfinished business refuse to stay buried.
