SUPPORT OUR SIBLING SHOW!!

👻 IT'S THE MOST SPOOKIEST TIME OF THE YEAR!! And the question is... DO YOU HAVE YOUR DEATH CERTIFICATE? 👻

When hinges creak in a doorless theater, where strange and frightening sounds echo from the stage, that is the time when ghosts are present for PORTLAND & NOW THE PNW's SEXIEST ANNUAL SPOOKY TRADITION since 2022...

Kindly join us inside the haunted The Alberta Rose Theatre, where you shall experience the creepiest of burlesque cabarets during this most gothic of seasons — where thwarted brides seek revenge, couples dance for all eternity, paintings change before your eyes, heads foretell your future, and grim-grinning ghosts fly overhead in search of one last mortal to join their cabaret troupe.
