		FROM SHORE TO SHORE: AARON BURR and THEODOSIA BURR ALSTON Written and Performed by LuLu LoLo This short play depicts the deep relationship Burr had with his daughter, the torment that he felt when she was lost at sea. It is said that Aaron Burr haunts Wall Street and the shoreline of Battery Park and that both Burr and his daughter Theodosia haunt the restaurant “One If By Land and Two If By Sea” (the site of the former Burr carriage house), where Burr’s ghost pulls chairs out from under people and the ghost of Theodosia grabs at women’s earrings.
