An Evening with The Baron
An Evening with The Baron
April 20 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
You are cordially invited to join the magnificent Baron Munchausen for an evening of myth, music, magic, marvels, and possibly a little mayhem. This fully immersive, intimate, and interactive experience will be one like no other.
Rudolf Erich Raspe’s titular character from “The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen” comes to life as he leaps off the page and onto the table where you, his honored guest, will see his fantastical tales come to life before your very eyes. Charismatic performances, surprising illusions, creations by local artisans, and a specially curated spread of delectable hors d’oeuvres will be yours to enjoy as you experience and participate in the Baron’s larger-than-life antics.
At The Baron’s table, you will witness extraordinary feats of derring-do from riding cannonballs through battlefields to living inside a whale and traveling to the moon. Twice!
This experience aims to reinvigorate the legacy of The Baron for a new generation and celebrate the timeless art of storytelling!
