Join us at Circa 1886 for an evening where Charleston’s past comes to life through storytelling and food. Longtime friend and professional storyteller Tim Lowry will draw from the haunting and lyrical tales of The Doctor to the Dead by Charleston Renaissance author John Bennett, sharing stories shaped by African and Gullah Geechee traditions and passed down through generations.

The evening unfolds over a four-course dinner by Chef Marc Collins, from Butternut Squash with cornbread, chèvre, and yellow curry glaze to Bone-In Short Rib and Banana Bread Pudding with butter pecan ice cream.
