About Lucky Charm
Written and performed by Louise Casemore
Directed by Max Rubin
A Defiance Theatre production presented by Common Ground Arts in partnership with Theatre Yes
Performed in a secret residential location in the Ritchie neighbourhood. Address will be provided to ticketbuyers within 48 hours of your performance date.
From 1894 to 1926, Bess was married to the most famous magician in the world. That is, until he died under mysterious circumstances. Now, you’re invited to step on up! Satisfy your curiosity! Don’t be disappointed!
For the price of a personal token, you’ll be permitted to venture inside the home where Mrs. Houdini sleeps, eats, and does her damndest every single week to make contact with her dearly departed. Watch from the gallery, or have a seat at the séance table.
Treat yourself to a spectacular display of grace, grief, and with any luck: a little terror and delight of the paranormal. Behold as we explore one of the greatest mysteries from the four corners of the earth: the palpitating possibility of LIFE AFTER DEATH.
Found Festival Mainstage Presentation: July 10-20, 2025
Lucky Charm was developed through our 2024-25 Fresh AiR Artist Residency. Photos from the workshop presentation at Found Festival 2024 by Mat Simpson.
