A River Farm Halloween: Story Telling from Old Town Mysteries by Local Celebrities

Acclaimed actor and retired jurist William T. Newman Jr. heads an all-star cast of story tellers who will regale book lovers with narrations from the popular — and slightly spooky — Old Town Mystery Series on Monday, October 30, from 6 to 7 pm, at River Farm.

Classical WETA broadcast personality Nicole Lacroix and the dynamic ghost storyteller duo of Nikisha Kozik and Jimmy Meritt with Alexandria Colonial Tours will also participate in the story telling. And The Female Stranger will make a guest appearance. 

The program is free and open to adults and children. Halloween costume attire is encouraged.

The narrations will be from Daingerfield Island, Slaters Lane, and Gadsby’s Corner, three of the books by local author and attorney John Adam Wasowicz, who will join the cast signing books at special ‘trick or treat’ prices. 

Newman, a recently retired Circuit Court Judge in Arlington, has performed in numerous theatrical performances throughout the Washington metropolitan area, including 

All six books in the Old Town Mystery Series are available at MADE IN ALX in Old Town North, 533 Montgomery St.
