Theatre Bizarre was beyond my wildest expectations (and believe me, my expectations were pretty wild)!! What a fantastic conglomeration of carnival, theatre, concert and party! Everywhere, there were costumes that were either totally unique or were the result of painstakingly accurate renditions of known characters.
There are some creatures that are better left in the dark corners of our nightmares…
The Batgirl, created by Eyecon FX, was one of many characters portrayed by members of the Pend Suspension team…
It rubs the lotion on its skin…
Taking things apart after the Flaming Throat-Tug of Death…
You talking to me?
Clowns having fun with the Rubber Chicken Man…
Jogo the Clown and friend…
The Marionette, now unstrung, takes a contemplative break…

This Saturday, October 24th, the ghouls, goblins, freaks and geeks will rule the night, once again! Theatre Bizarre’s Halloween celebration, a party like no other, will manifest from dusk till dawn.
This year, as in previous years, tickets to the event sold out just a few days after going on open sale. So, if you weren’t lucky enough to score tickets for this year’s party, be sure to start watching for them around mid-September next year, for Theatre Bizarre 2010. (Hint: Advance, reduced rate tix for this year’s show were available for purchase at the Dally in the Alley which took place September 12th. I’m just sayin’…)
I have been following the progress of preparations for this show. I was on site last night to document some of the final stages of set-up as the final press to get ready for Saturday’s showtime has built up a full head of steam and the place was busier than Santa’s workshop on Christmas Eve!
Mere words cannot express how impressed I have been with the dedication, professionalism and courtesy of EVERYONE I have encountered in conjunction with this project! You will not find a harder working embodiment of the concept of teamwork anywhere!
Here are a few shots of some of the final preps…
Lighting and sound sytems are given some final adjustments on the main stage…
Finishing touches being completed all over the grounds…
Some of the ghastly creations of Eyecon FX get some TLC from Dave, their creator, as they are readied for Saturday’s fourteen-hour makeup marathon which will get the players ready for “showtime” that evening…
Watch this space for shots from the show!!!
