EVENTS
The Library of Congress will host cast members from the CBS comedy “Ghosts” for a special screening event and panel discussion on April 9 in the Coolidge Auditorium at 6:30 p.m. ET. Free tickets can be found here.
“Ghosts” stars in attendance at the event will include Richie Moriarty, Danielle Pinnock, Asher Grodman, Román Zaragoza and Rebecca Wisocky.
The series, which is in its third season and was recently renewed for a fourth, is described as “a comedy about a couple who inherited Woodstone Mansion in upstate New York, only to find it was inhabited by many spirits of deceased residents from various time periods. The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group whose individual histories span various time periods. Among them are a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer, Alberta (Pinnock), an upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader, Pete (Moriarty), a slick ‘90s finance bro, Trevor (Grodman), a witty 16th-century Native American, Sasappis (Zaragoza) and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron, Hetty (Wisocky).”
Additionally, from 5 p.m.-6 p.m. ET, the Library of Congress will feature a curation of items related to each ghost’s time period in the Whittall Pavilion.
