Plot Summary
Family-friendly and especially beWITCHing! We all
know The House of the Seven Gables (1668) is a Colonial mansion in Salem, MA
- but what is the "real" history of the House? With Salem's historic
legacy of bubble, bubble, trials and trouble, it seems unlikely that
this residence wouldn't have an even more interesting "life" to it. Meet the
Gable family - Mom and Dad and their five young children. They have
made this house their home, and have lived peacefully there for years,
unaware of the House's other tenants. So what brought instability to
their tranquility? Enter two witches, who set a plot to foil the
Gables' plans to convert the witches' domain into a playroom. After
bickering, spells and much unwell, the shrewd Gables come up with a scheme
to outsmart the Witches while still offering an exotic subterranean abode
(befitting of the most sophisticated of witches). And they all live
bewitchingly ever after!
