HALLOWEEN TREEInspired by and lovingly dedicated to Ray Bradbury
Directed by Brian Rott & Chris MacGregor Choreographed by Molly Mingey, Simon Andreas Eichinger, Chris MacGregor, and Brian Rott October: 26, 27, 29, 30, 31 November: 1, 2, 3 at 8PM The Milwaukee Fortress, 100 A E. Pleasant St. Milwaukee, WI A troop of young boys in hodgepodge costumes trick-or-treat their way through time and space in search of their best friend, Pipkin. The quest leads them around the world, through the origins of Halloween, and to the door of man's most primal fear, death. Will they find their lost friend, or turn into pumpkins themselves? This bone-chilling production addresses the duality of the holiday: our desire to venture into darkness and recoil into light. Take in the views of dancing skeletons and listen to the notes of the accordion drift through the air alongside the smell of fresh cut pumpkin, all while enjoying a drink from the donation bar! Come in costume if you so desire! Performances: Oct. 26, 27, 29*, 31*; Nov. 1, 2, 3 at 8 p.m. The Milwaukee Fortress, 100 A E. Pleasant St., Milwaukee, WI.
