Where Haunting Legends Come Alive!
All proceeds from Ghost Talk go to youth programming and scholarships!
Our cabaret will be filled variety of spooky tales of ghosts, both fact and fiction! You will also meet our helpful guide who will take you through some history of Día de Los Muertos.
On Saturday, there will also be a fun courtyard experience before the show! Starting at 4pm, you can join us outside the theater for games, crafts, tarot card readings, a costume sale and tours of the new studio theater.
An important part of Día de los Muertos is honoring our loved ones who have passed with an altar. Pictures and other memorabilia representing who this person was in life are placed onto the altar in order to guide their spirit to visit us where we are celebrating.
For Ghost Talk we will have a community ofrenda outside of the theater. This altar will stay up from the beginning of October to November 2, and all members of our community are free to leave items honoring their loved ones. You just need to provide the frame and your picture can go anywhere on the altar, along with anything else you'd like to leave. Come to Ghost Talk with your items or drop them off early so we can put them up for you. We can also make a color photocopy of your original photos if needed.
