Truly takes you back in time to the magic and illusions of the 1800's. John does a fantastic job weaving the stories with the magic.

My daughter and her family have attended the Dinner theater for many years, We all planned a trip and we finally got a chance to come to Gettysburg, We called and made reservations before we left. What a delight it was to meet Joe and experience this show. It is a history lesson for everyone that is made fun with...

The Professor is a lot of fun and entertains well. The show is 1860's era, so the bad reviewers must have forgotten that & expected Copperfield-type tricks. Simple tricks, slight of hand, real magic.
The dinner choices were varied and the Chicken & Biscuits were excellent. Portions are nicely sized as well. We left full but not overly stuffed.

I was excited to be attending dinner theatre as it was something I had never done before. It did not take long to realize that even though it was advertised as a ghost story and seance it was nothing like that. I don't know what it was accept that it wasn't good. You could tell how the tricks were done...

While only 6 persons were at this particular dining experience, the whole event was great. Dinner was good, and had choices. The performer, "Professor Kerrigan" was most entertaining, including illusion (some from the Civil War era) and simulation of a Civil War seance. A great value -- he will perform for any number of reserved guests. His website: www.civilwartheater.com
Joe is an excellent magician and even better storyteller. Fun for adults and children alike.
If you love history, as well as reenactments of the period, you'll love this place. We came for the advertised Gettysburg Civil War Era Dinner Theater, and were not disappointed. The Fairfield Inn itself is steeped in history... original homestead having been built in 1757, predating the American Revolution. It was used as a Colonial Meeting House, Stagecoach Stop, part...

Don't listen to the poor reviews! This is PERIOD dinner theater and is intended to demonstrate what it was like for gullible rural folks over 150 years ago to enjoy a traveling showman. The jokes were PERIOD jokes and so was the magic. The haunted Fairfield is the perfect setting. The food served was PERIOD food! We watched the show...
