After 19 years of partnership, the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site and Candlelight Theatre are proud to announce the 2022-2023 theatre season!

We will begin the season with The Haunted States of America by James Trofatter. This progressive play encompasses the entire mansion as guests are led on a voyage through the United States to meet apparitions of some of the country’s most haunted places.

The Haunted States of America: October 14, 15, 22, 23, 28 & 29, 2022.

Candlelight Theatre’s holiday performance is Deck the Halls by resident playwright, James Trofatter. Join us as we sing familiar holiday songs while learning the stories and traditions behind them.

A new event begins in February with Hoosier H’Arts, a celebration of Valentine’s Day, Black History Month and Indiana poets. This exclusive one-evening event features hors d’oeuvres followed by readings by some of Indiana’s best loved poets.
