THE ARCHIVE THEATER AND PIONEER FARMS PRESENTS:

THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST

November 14 - December 15 | Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms

The Archive Theater is mounting a fully staged version of their delightful Victorian Christmas production The Ghosts of Christmas Past. The Merriwether family invites you to their family parlor to celebrate a true Victorian Christmas by telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve for a thrilling, chilling holiday event. Enjoy a family-friendly production with delicious holiday desserts, hot chocolate, spiced cider, live music, a carol sing-along, and deliciously spooky tales. But be on your best behavior because Krampus is coming. ​Suitable for ages 8 and up because of the gently spooky tales. The ghostly tales being told will include excepts from - Jerome K. Jerome "Told After Supper," Oscar Wilde's "The Canterville Ghost," F. Marion Crawford's " A Dolls Ghost," Saki's "The Open Window," and many more. Despite the name, absolutely no part of Dickens’ "A Christmas Carol" will be included. ​Come early and enjoy the Tavern atmosphere with live music and treats. Doors will open 30 minutes before the show. You can even wear your favorite Christmas or Victorian outfit and be part of the fun. Visit our Christmas Market to find the coolest gifts and art. All proceeds go to support our actors and artists.

What was the first book that made you fall in love with reading? What were the stories in your youth that you read over and over again because you couldn’t get enough? Imagine a place where stories come to life in a way that recaptures those feelings.  The Archive Theater is that place. We take beloved stories and turn them into visually rich theater productions full of imagination and wonder. We combine powerful storytelling, gorgeous costumes, historical detail, and live music to give our patrons a taste of living in another time, or another world.

The Archive Theater’s mission is to breathe new life into Classical Theater and Literature of the 16th through the 20th centuries. We create new translations and adaptations of beloved stories to make them more accessible to contemporary audiences. We develop exquisitely detailed, extensively researched, and historically informed productions that provide visual context and understanding for the stories we tell to our audience in Austin, Texas.
