Actors Needed for Foster Cemetery Tours

The Foster Preservation Society is having a Cemetery Tour of some of Foster’s historic Cemeteries on September 29, 2012 from 9 – 3. They have asked Swamp Meadow to come up with actors who would like to provide first person stories in the cemeteries… (half Scripted acting, half impromptu)

We are looking for 6 all day (6 hours) actors or 12 half day (3 hours) actors, a Director or two, some support staff and researchers for:

  • A Revolutionary War Patriot (or his widowed family)
  • The Woman who loved her Cadillac so much that she was buried in it!
  • Either a Civil War Vet or the Spirit of a Native American whose grave was disturbed and re-interred here
  • Someone from the 1800’s who can also tell the story of the Ram’s Tail Ghost
  • Roger Williams or a Relative of Roger Williams
  • 1920’s bootlegger or family member.
