The Dark Séance of Salem
Why is Salem steeped in spirits? Is it the ripples of a dark history—or something deeper?
Even in Salem, there are things that can only be seen in the dark.
This October, take your place at the table for The Dark Séance of Salem, Salem’s only dark séance experience. Come seek the answers with renowned magician and performer Caroline Gayle at Salem’s only Dark Séance experience. Held at the witching hour of midnight and led by an expert in Spiritualism, your time at the table will be unlike any experience you’ve had before.
Don’t miss this intimate experience. Tickets are extremely limited for each performance. Reserve your place at the table and discover what awaits you in the dark.
DATE: October 15–31, 2026

Sea Shanty Circle
What happens when you put a room full of strangers together and teach them a sea shanty?
Beginning this September, the Salem Playhouse is teaming up with Crowninshield Punch for MONTHLY SEA SHANTY NIGHTS! Join us on the second Thursday of every month for a completely free, low-pressure night of singing, community, and maybe a little maritime mischief.
No auditions. No rehearsals. No long-term commitment. No experience necessary.
Just show up.
Over the course of the evening, we’ll come together as a group, learn a sea shanty or two, find some harmonies, and by the end of the night, turn a room full of strangers into one very loud crew.
DATE: Thursday, September 10 (Every Second Thursday of the Month)
TIME: 7:00 PM
LOCATION: Salem Playhouse
FREE — ALL ARE WELCOME
Come alone. Bring some friends. Meet some new ones.
