About

McKissack about a former Pullman porter who hears the ominous whistle of an infamous ghost train) and a fantastically silly graveyard dance set to Saint-Saëns’ “Dance Macabre.” Join us for a deliciously old-school cocktail of death and humor, a reminder of what has always made Halloween so delightfully creepy and fun. This was great fun, intelligent humor and showmanship, wonderful puppets and stories . ~ GOArts A splendid blend of humor and spookiness…BRILLIANT. ~ Audience member Our special Halloween performance will be dedicated to celebrating 20 years of The Ghastly Dreadful s.
