PHANTASMAGORIA Arrives in Time for Halloween

Called "one of the most unique theater troupes in the country." by Good Day Atlanta, and direct from its successful performances in Orlando, Atlanta, Baltimore, Ocala and Eustis with our touring shows, Phantasmagoria is proud to be presenting their next main stage installment PHANTASMAGORIA VII "The Cards They Are Dealt" to celebrate the 2016 Halloween Season and its seventh year in Central Florida.

With the ongoing critically acclaimed success of the past six year's installments - as well as special events and appearances throughout the year- the brand new PHANTASMAGORIA VII thunders on to the Mandell Stage at the John and Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center with all new stories of terror. Live performers, "Phantastical" dance, explosive stage combat, large scale puppetry, aerial performance and haunting storytelling combine to create a tapestry of macabre and whimsical horror.

Join Phantasmagoria's evocative troupe of storytellers, dancers, and chorus as they embark on their newest journeys through literary tales of terror, horrific folk stories, legends, and myths from around the world. Enter with us into dark tales from the likes of Poe, Lovecraft, Oscar Wilde, Ambrose Bierce, and M.R. James, as well as Arabic folklore, whimsically macabre German fairytales, and so much more - all to set the tone for a truly Phantasmagorical Halloween season!

Under the creation, writing and direction of John DiDonna, with co-direction by Seth Kubersky, and Kevin G. Becker, the choreography of Mila Makarova, Serafina Schiano and others, fight direction by Bill Warriner, all new original music and soundscapes by Les Caulfield and Tod Kimbro, lighting by Jerry Klein, costumes by Shelly Henriott, projections by Dana Mott, fire direction by Mary Beth Spurlock, and with photography by Barry D. Kirsch, Graphics by Ozelle Sabado, and puppetry/props by Darkvale Studios and Halfmoon Creative Works this new installment presents us with a truly "Phantasmagorical" way to spend a macabre, whimsical, and terrifying Halloween.

In addition to our main stage production, Phantasmagoria will be high profile this whole season well into November with ongoing events and appearances including Artlando, City Arts Dia de los Muertos, Renningers Steampunk Industrial Days, The Orange County Public Library Downtown, The Lake Mary Museum, Orlando Weekly Zombie Ball, The Bob Carr Auditorium an ongoing appearance in residence at Petrified Forest and MUCH, much more!
