Something Wicked This Way Comes @ Lakewood Playhouse (Lakewood)
One strange and dark year long ago, Halloween came early. It came on Oct. 24, three hours after midnight, to be precise. The exact same time that Cooger and Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow show rolled into Green Town, Ill. First lured by its promises, two boys will soon discover the diabolical truth about the carnival. Behind the Egyptian mirror mazes and the spooky cast of characters, including the Illustrated Man and deadly Mr. Dark, the cost of wishes can be the stuff of nightmares. Only Jim, Will and Will’s father can save the town from the sinister carnival that threatens to destroy it and them. For those who still dream and remember, the show is about to begin.
Location: Lakewood Playhouse (Lakewood)
Tickets ($15) available here.
