Meet the cast

Two ghost stories, that were written to be performed together, will be seen for the first time on the same stage in the city for which they were written. Now, see them as they were meant to be, tragedy and comedy, about Savannah’s history; past and present. Jessica Best and Maria Zouves will reprise the title roles they originated.

Alice Ryley is based on a true, but tragic story of the immigrants’ experience in America’s young colonies. Even Ogelthorpe himself could not save the young Irish indentured servant as she finds challenges, love and loss in 18th century Savannah.

Set in the Davenport House, the ghost of Anna Hunter comes back to modern times to tell her story in this lighthearted story of mid-50’s Savannah. Miss Anna, along with her friends, inspired a city to save itself from destruction through her wit, energy and determination.
