Ghosts and Haunted Houses

The Bartlett Historical Society is hosting Kelly Rogers of Luna Paranormal Research to talk about the paranormal world.  She will demonstrate investigative tools and talk about specific haunted sites in the area.  Her goal is to educate, investigate, resolve and comfort people about this often felt and sometimes seen spirit world.

Do you have a haunting story?  Kelly is very interested in hearing your stories or answering questions about hauntings in your house, neighborhood or area.  Audience participation will be encouraged.

Please join us for an evening that will be educational, fun, exciting and, maybe, a little spine tingling!

The event is open to the public; donations to offset the cost of the presentation are gratefully accepted at the door.

Killer Joe

M&D Playhouse presents Killer Joe by Tracy Letts.  The play tells the story of a young drug dealer named Chris who finds himself in desperate need of cash. He and his father Ansel come up with the idea to murder Chris’ mother for her life insurance policy. They hire part-time hitman Joe Cooper to do the job, but complications arise when Joe insists on being paid in advance. Because the two men obviously can’t pay him before they receive their own dividends, Joe decides to accept Chris’ strange and childlike sister Dottie as “retainer” until his money comes through.
