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.”

UNDEAD features local professional theater and dance artists across multiple disciplines, engrossing the audience in an evening of classic Halloween creatures, suspense, comedy, and of course, ballet.
