Discover Sharon ghost stories and create your own. Ghosts on the Green is a weekend story-telling program for students grades 5 to 8. Join us for this workshop of storytelling, writing and acting. We will meet on a succession of four Saturdays from 10am to 1pm. The first three Saturdays, we will play theatre games, explore materials from the Sharon Historical Society & Museum (SHSM) archives to learn about historical people and events, create ghost stories, and tell ghost stories. On the last Saturday of the program, we will share your new ghost stories with your family and friends on Sharon Green.
