Evil Dead, The Musical 

Oct 27-29

Raven Performing Arts Theater

Last year’s bloody Halloween hit returns! Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a housewares employee turned demon-killing hero) and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell bad jokes … and all to music. Buy tickets here.

A spooky “not scary” event! Dig for bones in the Ghastly Corn Graveyard and watch as pumpkins explode in the Pumpkin Plop. Our Mad Scientist Lab will be a not-to-be-missed experience in Ella’s Art Studio with eerie electric exploration. Spider webs, ghostly shapes, and slime will all glow with a spectral light next door at the Ghostly Glow-In-The-Dark Lab.
