Madame Peirce’s Cabaret & Tarot Card Party!

Saturday, March 23rd from 6-9pm in the Foundation Room of the Columns Museum

$50 per person includes the show, libation and snacks, and a 10-minute Tarot Card Reading. ( if you like)

Madame Juliette Peirce was the wife of heralded philosopher Charles Saunders Peirce who resided in nearby Westfall Twp. in the home known to them as "Arisbe".  The philosopher had every intention of making the home a place for somewhat of a "think tank" where many of the great minds of the time could meet and discuss theories and philosophies still new and uncharted.  Juliette, Charles' second wife, was a woman of mystery and intrigue.  She supported her husband wholeheartedly until his death and admired him profoundly.  She was cloaked in a shroud of mystery, as no one is clear about where she came from.  She claimed to possess a deck of Tarot cards which were used to foretell the downfall of Napolean; she often did tarot readings for local charities.  In the spirit of Madame Peirce, we offer a celebration that we believe she would have enjoyed!
