Get ready for the 17th year of the long running Central Florida Halloween tradition!
Central Florida's critically acclaimed "Victorian Horror Performance Troupe" are back for spooky season 2027, with Phantasmagoria celebrating 17 years of performance!
Featuring the troupe's own unique and spectacular blend of storytelling, dance, ensemble work, large scale puppetry, aerial work, fire performance, and more, journey with Phantasmagoria this October as they returns to theaters throughout Central Florida with Phantasmagoria XVII "Frankenstein, and the Birth of Horror"
This latest incarnation of the troupes annual fall tour which will see them perform inOrlando, Clermont, Eustis, Ocala, Deland, and Daytona, celebrates Mary Shelley’s legendary and iconic "Frankenstein" as well as “The Vampyre” by John Polidori, together with even more stories that will horrify all in attendance...
In the summer of 1816, Mary Godwin (soon to be Shelley), Percy Shelley, Claire Clairmont, John Polidori and Lord George Gordon Byron spent their evenings reading ghost stories from the book “Fantasmagoriana”, when Byron issued the challenge “We Shall Each Write A Ghost Story” to all in attendance.
Phantasmagoria will present two tales from that original book – “The Death’s Head” and “The Black Chamber”, along with Byron’s apocalyptic epic poem “Darkness”written later that summer, and of course Polidori’s “The Vampyre” which set the tone for elegant, stately Vampires, all culminating in Mary Shelley’s classic of horror literature “Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus.”
With original music by Phantasmagoria composer Josh Solomon, choreography by Mila Makarova, stage combat by Bill Warriner, puppets by Nic Parks Puppetry, and all new adaptations and direction this is sure to be a darkly enchanting journey for all.
Phantasmagoria’s signature blend of evocative storytelling, phantastical dance, large scale puppetry, projections, original music and more will bring to life on stage the haunted and horrific tales that mark the most legendary moments in literature – ones that would change the face of horror forever.
