Whispering Bones ‘26 |
Season of the Witches
Friday October 16th, 2026 | 7:30 pm
in the Fort Salem Theater CABARET ROOM
The veil is thinning...
In tandem with FST's Halloween-themed production of "Lizzie," we're thrilled to announce Season of the Witches, as Whispering Bones returns for its 16th haunting season (and 5th anniversary production at FST) with a fresh gathering of ghostly tales, uncanny encounters, and deliciously dark humor.
Join us in the intimate glow of the Cabaret Room as an ensemble of storytellers conjures a new collection of supernatural stories. Some will make you laugh. Some may leave you looking over your shoulder on the drive home. All will remind you that not every spirit is ready to rest.
Expect mysterious visitors, lingering family secrets, strange happenings from beyond the grave, and the return of the delightfully dubious Dr. Betterov-Underhill (Kelvin Keraga), purveyor of the world's finest Dead People Products. Rumor has it he has unveiled several new offerings this year, though we cannot guarantee they have been approved by any living authority.
Now entering their 16th year on tour, Whispering Bones has become a cherished October tradition in Salem, blending storytelling, folklore, comedy, and chills into an unforgettable evening of theatrical enchantment.
Gather your coven, summon your courage, and join us for an evening where the stories refuse to stay buried.
