A letter from your host

Jareth

You wish to know what it means to live forever. I would rather tell you what it means to remember.

I have answered to many names. Jareth will do for this evening.

I knew Kansas City when the river brought strangers to its banks and the railroads brought fortunes to the Bottoms. I remember the saloons, the music behind closed doors, and the people whose names never made it into the histories.

You may have heard stories of Hell’s Half Acre. Perhaps you have wondered how much of a city’s past can be buried beneath a new street.

Over supper, I will tell you what I remember. Of this city. Of those I loved. Of the things I did to remain here.

Then you may tell me whether you still wish to live forever.

The evening

Kansas City, through
the eyes of a vampire.

Dinner, live music, and a story told by three actors. Between the courses, Jareth and his companions revisit the lives, loves, and secrets that have tied him to Kansas City. As their accounts unfold, you must decide whose version to believe.

Drawing on the history and folklore explored in Apparition’s Hell’s Half Acre: Haunted History of Kansas City, the story follows the city from its riverfront and rail yards to its saloons and rooms where power changed hands.

The West Bottoms. Hell’s Half Acre. The Wettest Block in the World. These are the places behind Jareth’s memories—where the city’s recorded history meets the private life of an immortal.

An original vampire tale woven through Kansas City’s history and folklore.
