Happy Holidays!!
We went all out on Halloween this year with
3 big projects back-to-back in one weekend,
then we started planning our Thanksgiving meal
(a "fajita-stuffed turkey" was mentioned),
put up our Christmas tree,
AND watched The Muppet Christmas Carol the very next day.
We're ready.

Our Colonial Haunt: The Lost Garrison
event on Halloween weekend was EPIC!
We built webs and floors traps
all around the museum's campus. . .
We placed 100 handmade spiders
throughout the grounds. . .
We hung bodies in the Victim's Forest. . .
and placed Mother in her web!
We made all the components in
our new home workshop,
and Mother lived on our back porch
for a few weeks. . .
We also got to write our first script together
and had so much fun rehearsing with the cast!
Can't wait for the chance to stage
more productions at this amazing venue
in the heart of historic downtown!

Opening night for the haunt was Friday,
and then Saturday found us
at James Weldon Johnson Park
downtown Jacksonville
to open for Dr. Bacon in full troll regalia!

Then Sunday, we produced our
inFESTation! Local Music Resurrection event
at Colonial Oak Music Park!

A HUGE thanks to our friends
