The Woman in Black
A combination of mystery and ghost story, the play tells the tale of a curse one man believes hangs over his family. Set in a time of horse-drawn carriages and remote houses, a lawyer recounts his visit to a house, which no one can leave or enter after the water rises in the evening. There to settle the accounts of a recently deceased recluse, he encounters a woman in black, and the strange history of the woman who lived in the house.
Tickets can be purchased in the theater lobby an hour before show time or reserve tickets by calling (231) 632-3029, or (231) 946-1953. Grand Trunk Theatre is located at 620 Railroad Place next to the old city train station near the city library off Eighth Street.
