As the parent of two young kids, I’m starting to enjoy Halloween more and more. And there’s a number of ways to have some frightful fun around town in coming days …
- Friday and Saturday: There is a kid-friendly haunted house benefiting Human Concerns at 821 Marion Ave. Hours are 7 to 10 p.m. Cost is a $2 donation or two (or more) non-perishable food items at the door.
- Saturday: St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, next to Rawson Park, is hosting a family-friendly Halloween event from 2 to 4 p.m. featuring candy, games and more. Learn more here.
- Saturday: The South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center is bringing “500 Clown Frankenstein” to town for a show starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are still available. Here is the description from the PAC website — sounds like a great time. 500 Clown uses action-based performance, improvisation, and circus arts to enact long-form dramatic stories that involve both physical and emotional risk. “ Frankenstein” features three performers who are charged with a task: “make monster.” Bound in elaborate Edwardian costumes, the trio embarks on a journey to construct Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory while they struggle and battle through acrobatic feats. A tale of Doctor and Monster is told from scraps of the classic novel and Hollywood versions, inviting audience involvement throughout.
- Thursday, Oct. 31 (Halloween): Don’t forget … the city is again holding its official trick-or-treating from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Be sure to leave your porch lights on if you are handing out candy. Learn more in my previous post.
