Harrowing History
and The Nellie Bly Wreck

Art design, Creation of the program, Casting, Costumes, and Direction

The Harrowing History series debuted with six stories of murder, mayhem, and tragedy pulled from the back pages of Bordentown’s rich history. While the stories of Francis Hopkinson, Clara Barton, and Thomas Paine are some of the most well-known from Bordentown, this initiative dives into dark passageways to expose Bordentown’s disreputable natives. Harrowing History isn’t your average ghost story. In fact, every story is absolutely true. Historical facts were pulled from local and national newspapers, trial records, census data, and obituaries to write the stories. This was a 90-minute storytelling showcase.
