Head: Historic Downtown Logan’s 2016 Ghost Tour to start in a different location
By Judd Workman
Downtown Logan began its Ghost Tours Friday at 7 p.m. which will run every Friday and Saturday night through the end of the month. For the first time, the tour will begin at St. John’s Episcopal Church located at 85 E. 100 North.
The Ghost Tour, which has been organized by the Logan Downtown Alliance for the past five years, includes a two hour long tour that walks groups of people through downtown Logan. The cast of the tour, comprising 14 actors, is provided by the Bridgerland Storytelling Guild, Cache Theatre Company and Music Theatre West.
Prescott Walker, a volunteer for St. John's Episcopal Church, said he was excited to help with the production.
“20 to 25 minutes of the tour is actually spent inside the sanctuary,” Prescott said. “About 60 people will come at seven, eight and nine o’clock and it all starts here at the church.”
Prescott also said in order for St. John’s to participate in the tour, approval had to go through a few different groups within the church including the priest.
Along with receiving the satisfaction of aiding the local theatre group in its program, St. John’s will receive a portion of the proceeds as a donation from the Logan Downtown Alliance.
Logan Downtown manager Gary Saxton said that tickets for the Ghost Tour have sold out every year and, as of Thursday, 43 percent of the tickets have already been sold this year.
At the end of the tour audience members will have the opportunity of viewing an original play based on Mary Shelley’s novel, “Frankenstein,” written and directed by Chris Metz of the Cache Theatre Group.
“We have spent a lot of time and effort on character development and overall creep factor in the show,” Metz said. “It really has been a great opportunity for us, as a community theatre, to be part of something produced by Logan City.”
