Sci-fi and fantasy theatrical production company Otherworld Theatre is hosting its 10th-anniversary celebration, “Gothic Galaween: An Evening Celebrating 10 Years of Otherworld Theatre,” on Friday, Oct. 14, at Michelle’s Ballroom, 2800 W. Belmont Ave.
The bash is slated to feature live performances, a silent auction, palm readers, hand-drawn Edward Gorey-inspired portraits, and catering and desserts from various restaurants.
Throughout the evening, a cast of ghostly characters will bring guests into the story of Gothic Galaween’s haunted mansion, as patrons interact with them to discover their unfinished earthly business. Performances from Otherworld will include 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,” Otherworld Theatre Artistic Director Tiffany Keane Schaefer said in a statement. “This event raises the money that allows us to continue creating inspiring science fiction and fantasy productions, while building community with nerds, geeks and fans of all stripes in intricately designed spaces that spurs imagination—which is what Otherworld Theatre is all about.”
