Saturday October 31st is our second annual cast prank night. This is less of a show and more of an all-out war among our cast; where pounds of flour falls from the skies, and the stage-blood flows like wine. Admission is only $5 on that night (while we still put on our show, we can't guarantee that all of our actors will be in their place). While our staff will not target customers, it can be easy to get caught in the crossfire, so bring an umbrella, or better yet a poncho (we will have some available in our ticket booth)!
