“FEAR! Memory Lane Playback”

The Memory Lane Troupe creeps onto our stage for an evening of storytelling and improvisational theatre; the theme on this night- FEAR! Experience the art of playback theater in a show that can never be repeated!

The art of playback theatre relies on the audience and their memories. Patrons are prompted to reflect and voluntarily share their stories related to a particular theme, whether they be happy, sad, or anywhere in between. The talented actors in Memory Lane will then stage the tale on the spot through a variety of improvisational scenes. It’s an interactive, communal experience that will make you laugh, cry, and remember!

This spooky season-themed performance will focus on the audience’s eeriest ghost stories, creepiest Halloweens, and most eye-popping adventures.

Tickets are $8 - $10.

Thursday, October 31 from 12-4pm

Halloween Day

Let’s do the Time Warp…again!
