Celebrate Halloween at the Center. Shows run Wed-Sat, October 12 - October 29th.

By Jon Ludwig and Jason Hines

Join The Ghastly Dreadfuls for a clever combination of ghost stories, catchy music, gothic aesthetic and grim humor. The show features seven talented performers, who each play instruments in a band, sing, dance, act and operate all the puppets with the utmost of ease. Though most of the songs and stories are humorous, they represent a broad range of storytelling and styles of puppetry, from the serious and moving “The 11:59” (based on a short story by Patricia C. McKissack about a former Pullman porter who hears the ominous whistle of an infamous ghost train), to a fantastically silly graveyard dance set to Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre.”
Buy your tickets now as our team serves up a deliciously old-school cocktail of vaudeville-esque humor, horror and hijinx, a reminder of what has always made Halloween so creepy and fun.
