Join us for a fun, unique evening of history, theater, good food and more, all to benefit Lynchburg's Old City Cemetery Museums & Arboretum.
This first Annual Dinner with the Departed will include a delicious meal catered by Benjamins Restaurant, a cocktail bar (with one drink ticket included per guest to get you started), silent auction with items and experiences from local businesses, music & mingling, and of course, an immersive experience with the cast of our show, "Scandalous: Lynchburg's 19th Century Red Light District."
This show sold out twice last year, and received high praise from all of our guests. This is a unique chance to experience Lynchburg history in a totally new way as the ladies tell their stories on their turf, while mixing with our dinner guests. They'll tell you all about what life was like for Lynchburg's Ladies of the Evening, from the early 1800s, all the way through the 20th Century. You'll be moved through laughter and tears as you get to know these "spirited" Sporting Ladies, both scripted and unscripted.
All proceeds go to Old City Cemetery Museums & Arboretum, a 501c3 dedicated to the preservation & promotion of our 200+ year old cemetery, history & horticulture education, and community development.
