Join us for Donna Washington: Of Blood and Bone on Friday, October 30 at 7:30 p.m.

Of Blood & Bone delivers delightfully disquieting tales of skin-spinners, sweet-toothed child-eaters, undead lovers, and blood-hungry captains. Perfectly timed for the Halloween season, these stories will get under your skin and revisit you deep in the night.

Not for the faint of heart, this spine-tingling evening features bone-chilling tales from master storyteller Donna Washington. Journey into the dark, devilish, and downright terrifying corners of mortal life – and beyond.

And what’s a night of tricks without a little treat? Tickets include “death by chocolate” desserts to be enjoyed at a communal table with friends or at an intimate place setting for two. Purposefully blood-curdling, this event is recommended only for adults and the bravest of teens.

For tickets, visit https://www.wakeforestrencen.org/ or call the box office at 919-435-9458.
