6TH ANNUAL PERFORMANCE SERIES
**THIS SERIES IS NOW SOLD OUT – THANKS TO ALL WHO PURCHASED TICKETS!**
Gretel’s Home for Wayward Children is an immersive theatrical experience at the Hermitage Museum and Gardens created by Patrick Mullins.
Gretel’s story is a unique one: abandoned by her family, left in the woods, kidnapped by a witch, and yet she persevered. Gretel’s strength and resilience saved her brother’s life and her own, and now she has opened a retreat to share her profound knowledge with others. Those who are lost on life’s path visit Gretel’s and are found. Those who are hungry find sustenance. Those feeling trapped find freedom. Bring your inner light and be ready to face the darkness as you explore all that Gretel’s has to offer. Ages 18+
*Guests should expect to be standing/walking for 60 minutes; some scenes will require climbing stairs. Each evening’s performance lasts up to three hours and there are three entry times: 6:30, 7:30, and 8:30. Strobe lights will be used during the performance. We respectfully request that all ticket holders be capable of showing proof of being fully vaccinated or to have received a negative COVID-19 test within the last 72 hours. Mask wearing will be enforced during the performance.
