Information
Witness the award-winning ghoulish journey that is Party Ghost! This tongue-in-cheek Death Day celebration is next level messed up & twice as amusing, brought to you by the powerhouse creative team Olivia Porter and Jarred Dewey and directed by Nicci Wilks.
Cirque, theatre, death, and drag come together in this exquisite macabre production. Expect to see a wild mix of dismembered limbs, ghosts, and all sorts of outrageous and disturbing shenanigans. Fans of high-level circus & dark comedy will find Party Ghost refreshing, jaw-dropping & hauntingly hilarious. It's not for the faint of heart - so come prepared for a little bit of boo and a whole lot of bang for your buck!
