Spend an afternoon in the cemetery meeting its residents!
No, they aren’t ghosts. No, they don’t rattle chains or scare anyone. These residents are students from the Drama Department of Parkview Arts & Science Magnet High School in Little Rock.
Drama students research a person buried in Mount Holly. They deliver short monologues or dialogues to highlight the history and lives of their character, and they dress in period costumes created by costumer Holly Payne.
Audiences are led through the cemetery by guides, stopping at the graves where student actors are stationed. Many local teachers award extra credit to students who attend.
Over a thousand people attend Tales of the Crypt. See it every year on the second Sunday in October, 2-4 p.m.
Admission is free to the public. We gladly accept donations!
