With the success of last year’s first installment, PHANTASMAGORIA II returns with ALL NEW stories, and ALL NEW large scale puppetry, all interacting with live actors, fantastical dance and haunting storytelling in 10 performances from October 14th - October 30th 2011!
Join us as we journey through tales as diverse as Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death”, Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, a terrifying journey to the Scottish Lochs and ancient folklore, and to the whimsical yet bizarrely horrifying worlds of Lewis Carroll with some side trips to tales of centuries old Japanese horror and gruesome tales of the Bantu Tribe!
The cast is filled with some of Central Florida’s very best returning again to chill our hearts and freeze our souls – including our storytellers Cory Boughton, Cameron Gagne, Trenell Mooring, and Samantha O’Hare The ensemble features our wonderful and devious chorus members, puppeteers and dancers – including Dion Smith, Amy Tattersal, Ashley Elisabeth, Mila and Gina Makarova, Stephen Lee Marion, Serafina Schiano, Susan Woodbury, Ayla Parsons, Michelle Albert, Shayna Klee and Matthew Carroll - all of whom bring these tales to terrifying life (and death!).
