GHOSTS OF THE WEST
LIVE
MULTIMEDIA PROGRAM AND LECTURE
A multimedia "edutainment" program and lecture
consisting of stories, facts, and folklore,
designed for classrooms, libraries, historical societies, and theaters.
By the writer-director of Ghosts of the West.
ABOUT THE SHOW
​
What Greetings from the Old West does not do is repeat tired iterations of embellished folklore. Rather, it presents a landscape of legends and dramatic non-fiction stories while keeping one foot planted firmly in the real world.
Two versions of this multimedia program are available for booking. One highlights sites from across the West; another celebrates Colorado's Sesquicentennial with tales from Silver Heels to Silver Cliff to the silver crash of '93.
​
Drawing from the hundreds of sites visited over a quarter century of exploration, both versions feature historical and contemporary images, as well as clips from the award-winning documentary Ghosts of the West; The End of the Bonanza Trail.​
