FUNERAL WEDDING: The Alvin Play
Something is amiss with Alvin Fisher…
Join The Strange Tree Group this fall as we haunt the house at Signal Ensemble Theatre with a gory little ghost story selected as Top Five of the Fringe (Chicago Tribune 2006). This macabre visual feast employs bright bursts of magical realism, thrusting this hopelessly haunted young man between past and present while unraveling family secrets through music, memories, and murder. Beloved by both company members and fans, this is the rare chance to see our second original production revived, revamped, and re-imagined for Halloween 2012!
Ghosts. Lost love. Stabbings. Hidden Hallways. Hot Apple Cider. Lantern Light. Flickering Flames. Mandolins. Murderers. Strange Tree to the take no prisoners, darkly heart-breaking, special surprise filled MAX. *Get it*
