Goosebumps: Phantom of the Auditorium summons audiences into a thrilling, fun filled theatrical experience where mystery and laughter come together on stage. The story follows two best friends, enthusiastic students who land the leads in their schools musical. What is first is that their big break briskly becomes something far more frightening.
As rehearsals in the auditorium begin, whispers spread about the production’s troubling past. The play was attempted once before, however, it was abruptly abandoned. Suddenly, strange occurrences shake the cast and crew, with shadows slipping across the stage when no one is supposed to be there. At the midst of these rumors is a mysterious figure only acknowledged as the Phantom, an ominous presence who seems determined to sabotage the performance.
With the opening approaching and tensions rising, these friends must face their fears and uncover the truth. In my presence in this play’s own opening, the production comes to life with a wide and diverse cast, dynamic dancing, and an eerie but family friendly setting. It’s a story that’s as moving as it is suspenseful, making a theatrical happening that the whole family can appreciate. Recommended for ages five and up.
