Puget Soundworks: Monster Mash

• Miriam Anderson, conductor

Prepare to be amazed by the mesmerizing extravaganza that is Monster Mash! This show breaks all boundaries of our previous performances, merging the enchantment of song, dance, and an original narrative to celebrate Halloween and the rich tapestry of togetherness that binds us.

Our stage will come alive with an array of characters and songs, spanning from contemporary hits by icons like Radiohead, Christina Aguilera, and Kate Bush, to spine-tingling classical melodies that send shivers down your spine.

The anticipation is electric, and we're absolutely thrilled about this production – and we're sure you will be too! So come and be part of our Halloween bash; it's a spellbinding soirée you won't want to let slip away!

Perfect for kids aged 7+ and adults of all ages.

In-person performances on October 27 & 28 at First Covenant Church in Seattle; this program will also be recorded and broadcast online November 20-30.
