Historical Hauntings: the Naughty and the Notorious (A Dinner Theatre Event) April 2, 2011

The New Bedford Preservation Society cordially invites you to attend its premier fund-raiser - Historical Hauntings: the Naughty and the Notorious, a Dinner Theatre Event, on Saturday, April 2, 2010, at the James Arnold Mansion (Wamsutta Club), 427 County Street, New Bedford.

Experience characters and untold stories from New Bedford’s past as you dine on a multi-course Victorian dinner with complimentary wine pairings especially prepared for the evening:
• Cream of Pumpkin Soup served w/dollop of Sour Cream

Costumed characters will tell their stories, some scandalous, some macabre. The lobby of the Wamsutta Club will be transformed to resemble the old “notorious” Waverley Hotel in New Bedford, where surprise “appearances” await guests during the cocktail reception starting at 6 p.m. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m.

After dinner, guests will enjoy a guest “appearance” from professional New Bedford gambler Richard Canfield, who will oversee the fun in the South Lounge “Casino.”

The Wamsutta Club and the New Bedford Preservation Society have collaborated to present this frightfully entertaining event. For more info & reservations, please call the New Bedford Preservation Society (508-997-6425) or the Wamsutta Club (508-997-7431) as seating will be limited.
