The Gray Ghost

The Gray Ghost Theatre Company's current production of the outdoor drama "The Gray Ghost" is a perfect night of entertainment under the stars.  Come and witness the true story of a Prince William County legend.

John Singleton Mosby was the bane of the Union Army in Northern Virginia and a hero of the

Confederacy.  Also known as the "Gray Ghost," Mosby was a Confederate Calvary officer in the Civil War.  He garnered notoriety for his quick raids and ghostlike ability to elude the Union Army.

The 60-foot proscenium stage of the Mary Louise Jackson Amphitheater is the perfect venue for this action packed play.  You'll hear a band play battlefield music along with gunfire in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  There will even be live combat scenes with a cast of 25 and horses onstage.  Located in the beautiful Mosby Heritage Area, you'll be near the historical National Manassas Battlefields Park.

"The whole reason for creating the company was to marry the rich history of our community with the theater arts," said Ken Elston, artistic director of the theater company.  "Prince William County is in the cradle of the nation.  The Civil War was a rebirth of our nation and we are proud to bring that story to life."

Prince William County is home to a lot of Civil War buffs so be sure to get your tickets early. For more information, please visit www.VisitPWC.com.
