About this Event
“Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!” -Bram Stoker, Dracula
UNDEAD
Haunted House of Dances

Trick or Treat? They're baaaaack.
UNDEAD is an immersive, adults-only Halloween show.
Encounter the shadows of the night, where only the undead gather.
Sarah Somerville of Nerd News Social calls it “an evening of unearthly elegance where mischief unhinges the mortal realm.”
