The Dark Séance of Salem
About
The Dark Séance of Salem is a limited-run, late-night séance performance billed as Salem’s only dark séance experience. Guests take a seat at the table with magician and performer Caroline Gayle, presented as an expert in Spiritualism, to ask why Salem is so steeped in spirits and whether its dark history explains it. Sessions are held in the dark, some at the witching hour of midnight, in an intimate format.
Performances take place at the Salem Playhouse, a historic venue formerly known as The Bridge at 211 and reimagined as a home for performances, arts programming and community experiences in the heart of Salem. The organization behind it became a nonprofit in 2016 and now partners with the Olde Essex Stage Company, a nonprofit grounded in storytelling, aiming to preserve the building’s character while bringing it new life.
