Carnival Of Samhain

Drama of Works' 4th annual festival, extending the Halloween holiday with puppets, dance, magic, burlesque and live music!

Length: 1 hr 20 mins
Intermission: None
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.

On November 3rd through the 6th, Drama of Works will once again extend the Halloween holiday, terrorizing unsuspecting New Yorkers with their spooky extravaganza at HERE Arts Center. The Carnival will continue its tradition of presenting the hauntingly spectacular. Audiences will be thrilled once again by ghouls, ghosts and goblins represented through puppet works, dance, magic, burlesque and live music. Full schedule will be available at dramaofworks.com.

"Drama of Works invites the audience to re-examine their notions of theatrical structure and method without seeming self-important or compromising accessibility...This company will be around for years to come. If you go see them now, you'll be able to say you knew about them before everybody did." -- offoffoff.com
