The Imaginists

Hauntings begin October 16th. Music, spells and laughs with one hell of a cast all wrapped up into one big, bloody mess. Tkt link in bio.

The Santa Rosa Candlelight Players are beyond excited to be bringing Luther Burbank, Colonel McDonald, Robert “Believe It or Not” Ripley and other local legends back to life for this year’s annual cemetery tour. Unfortunately for this company of community actors, something else has “come to life” as well. Only Philip, the gravedigger, knows of the power that could soon bury the small rural cemetery in darkness. Witches’ spells, open graves, and a bloody thirst for power forever change the annual Midnight Flashlight Tour into something terrifying. An original horror and music filled show in the spirit of Little Shop and Rocky Horror created by the Imaginists. Recommended for ages 13 and up for language and blood.

This October the Candlelight Players’ annual gravesite tour is subverted by uninvited guests who promise to make the beloved small town tour much more terrifying. An original horror and music filled show in the spirit of Little Shop and Rocky Horror created by the Imaginists. Recommended for ages 12 and up. Ticket link in bio.
