Gather ‘round the campfire to say “hello” to fall! We’re welcoming sweater weather with a night of hijinks, harmony, and heart. Join us in the formal garden to experience all the hilarity of a family cookout with a dysfunctional cast of characters in this theatrical experience. This lively performance offers the perfect opportunity to relax and laugh while enjoying the best sights and sounds of fall. Don your flannel and grab your flask for an evening of fun you won’t find anywhere other than Brucemore!
Produced by Megan Adams and Gerard Estella, this event is perfect for fans of musical theatre and sketch comedy. The evening will include original comedic scenes and live performances of familiar songs. Audiences are encouraged to bring their favorite warm beverages, fluffy blankets, and autumnal snacks to enjoy a cozy night of comedy under the stars.

This 90-minute all-access guided tour takes you across the estate and inside rarely-seen rooms of the mansion. Peek inside typically closed buildings built for servant housing or hobby use, discover the curiosities and oddities of the mansion, and get the answer to a frequently-asked question – what is behind that door? As part of this tour, you will see the infamous mansion basement and experience the sights and sounds of a “rainstorm” in the Tahitian Room, which is an exclusive perk of the Nooks and Crannies tour!

Brucemore is partnering with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio for another popular workshop, just in time for Halloween! In this workshop, participants will build their own unique ghost from clay, using various hand-building techniques. Once your ghost is the perfect size and shape, participants can add “boo-tiful” decorations to their creations with colored glazes and various textures.
