Guests at Gothic Galaween will experience an immersive environment with multiple art installations to explore throughout the exquisite vintage event space Michelle's Ballroom, evoking a haunted mansion; a fully themed dinner catered by award-winning Kuma's Corner with desserts by Poppie's Dough and Sugar Realm Bakery; themed cocktails and mocktails; hand-drawn Edward Gorey-inspired portraits; and a silent auction including autographed memorabilia from STAR WARS and STAR TREK films and shows.
Throughout the evening, a cast of ghostly characters bring guests into the story of Gothic Galaween's haunted mansion as patrons interact with them to discover their unfinished Earthly business. Performances from the Otherworld Theatre Ensemble keep the evening lively, including music and circus shows.
"Gothic Galaween is our first opportunity to have Otherworld Theatre's biggest fans, best friends, and supporters in the same room at the same time since the pandemic began," said Tiffany Keane Schaefer, Otherworld Theatre Artistic Director.
