R.L. STINE’S GOOSEBUMPS: PHANTOM OF THE AUDITORIUM

October 11 – November 2

Adapted for the stage with:
Book & Lyrics by John Maclay

Orchestrations & Arrangements by Danny Abosch

Horror fans Brooke and Zeke are thrilled to be starring in a mysterious show called The Phantom, and not the least bit frightened by the old legend that the play is cursed. But when strange, eerie messages start appearing and a masked menace starts disrupting rehearsals, they begin to wonder: what if there really is a ghost haunting their school, determined to stop the show?! Prepare to get goosebumps as they race to solve the mystery in this thrilling — and chilling — musical, based on the classic series by R.L. Stine.

Recommended for families with young people ages 8-18 and thrill seekers of all ages.
