CREEPSHOW AT THE FREAKSHOW PLAYERS PRESENT:
TRICKY TREATS - A TRAUMA DRAMA - WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY DICK D. ZIGUN
STARRING SCOTT BAKER, SET BY KATE DALE, $7.50

Imagine an old horror movie tv show host, like Zacherly using props and wigs and a sound effects table to go "on the air" around Halloween and share a traumatic tale with his audience. A simple story of "Ding-dong. I opened the door" trick or treaters goes very wrong and very very off course. Of course!

Monday - Thursday October 26-29: 8 pm, 9 pm
Friday, October 30 at 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm
Saturday, October 31 at 2 pm, 4 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm, 10 pm
