CENTER FOR PUPPETRY ARTS Presents the return of 'THE GHASTLY DREADFULS, October 12 - 29

(Photo Courtesy of The Center for Puppetry Arts)

The Ghastly Dreadfuls returns to the Center for Puppetry Arts, October 12-29 for a 10th season of spine-tingling storytelling with a cast of characters that has made it an Atlanta cult classic. Artistic director Jon Ludwig describes the evening as, “a kind of dark vaudeville with a variety of performance styles and sensibilities. There’s really something for everybody.” The evening is a compendium of ghost stories and spectacle with puppets, live music and dance. The Ghastly Dreadfuls haunts the stage with some fan favorites (including 11:59, Grim Grinning Ghosts and The Girl in the New Dress), and a new piece, The Horrific Experiment: A Grand Guignol, by Andre de Lorde and Alfred Binet, adapted by Richard J Hand and Michael Wilson. A turn-of-the-century genre of horror theatre that originated in France, Grand Guignol, was famously gory and darkly provocative. Grand Guignol productions specialized in graphic, naturalistic imagery intended to shock and provoke audiences. In The Horrific Experiment, a doctor and his assistant go to gruesome extremes to bring his daughter back to life.  Winner of the 2012 UNIMA Citation of Excellence Award and created by Jon Ludwig and Jason Hines, The Ghastly Dreadfuls rises again this season with a huge variety of characters, stories and songs created for fans ages 18 and up. This show isn’t for those who take life (or death) too seriously. The eerie stories, spooky songs and devilish dances will take audiences to a world beyond this mortal plane. A beer and wine bar will be open before the show and during intermission. Tickets are $18.75 (Members) and $25 (Nonmembers) and include entry to the performance and museum. Tickets are available at www.puppet.org or by calling 404-873-3391. Worlds of Puppetry Museum The all-inclusive ticket also admits patrons to the Center’s Worlds of Puppetry Museum featuring the Jim Henson and Global collections. The Henson collection is the largest collection of Henson puppets and artifacts in the world. Also on display (and included with an all-inclusive ticket or a museum-only ticket) is a special exhibit, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: Journey to Goblin City-A Special 30th Anniversary Celebration.

A Christmas in Whoville

Dear Whoville friends,

Come to Whoville to hear us sing, sing, sing!

At 5 pm on December the 14.

Bring your blankets, bring your chairs

Come in singles or in pairs!

On the lawn of the second Whoville house

At 115 on Adams Park in Fayetteville

A grinchy Grinch will be a Klaus

While all the Whos, big and small,

Sing their songs despite this louse.

And, if by chance, to come you can’t

Watch the story and the chant

On a channel on the web

At TheUgarteStudio/Broadcasts

Where you can see and hear what was meant.

We’ll have Whoville munchies to be munched

-- after you hear us sing, sing, sing! --

That all the Whos happily bring

So you can meet the Whos and say hello

In Whoville town after the Christmas show down!  

So come along and bring your friends

Bring your besties and all those possible Who gems.

Sound the news to all around!

Come and share the songs of Whoville town

And may the Holiday Spirit in your heart abound!

A Christmas in Whoville
