A Variety Night of Fun & Fright


Scream as you witness a ghoulishly giddy theater of nightmares, witchery, and the brainlessly macabre entertainment at Dell’Arte. As the veil between worlds thins, the Macabre Cabaret crosses the boundary to confront patrons with phenomena beyond their comprehension.

Clowns juggling knives, disembodied voices, monsters in the shadows, and haunting electronic melodies are just a part of what’s in store for audiences this year. Specialty cocktails will be served courtesy of the Legion of the Undead. Special guest appearances include Frankenstein and his Bride and the goth drag sensation Kombouija.

Director Cleo DeOrio says “Dell'Arte is excited to continue the tradition of the Macabre Cabaret, highlighting some of your favorite Humboldt County performers. We look forward to closing out your spooky season with the wacky, wild, and whimsical Macabre Cabaret.”

The Macabre Cabaret plays for two nights only on Friday, November 1 and Saturday, November 2 at the Carlo Theater, 131 H Street, Blue Lake. The house and the bar open at 7:15pm for an 8pm curtain. Run time is 90 minutes and includes a 15 minute intermission.

Purchase an individual ticket for $30 ($25 if you buy before October 15).

A limited number of splash zone tables for two are available for $100, and include two free drink tickets and priority table service for cocktails.

Costumes are encouraged! Bring single bills to tip performers. Content is appropriate for ages 18+ (partial nudity). For more information, please visit dellarte.com.
