All are invited to “attend the tale of Sweeney Todd” during the Mauldin Cultural Theater’s lively production this weekend. The London legend turned Broadway musical focuses on the sad figure of Sweeney Todd, a man obsessed with revenge after a wrongful imprisonment. He will stop at nothing to avenge his wife, even if that means taking others’ lives into his own hands. Witness “The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” battle inner battles via musical numbers that will be stuck in your head for weeks.
Explore Greenville’s historic side with a trip to the Kilgore Lewis House, a beloved home built in 1832. Until November 15th, individuals can enjoy fall decorations, such as Not-So-Scary Scarecrows and carved pumpkin displays. Face painting and light refreshments will also be available. On Wednesday through Friday, all are invited to walk the 3.5 acres of grounds and gardens at the Kilgore Lewis House. Enjoy a free tour of this historic home and check out their new Garden Library.
