STUDIO THEATRE: ILLUSIONIST NICK WALLACE’S SPOOK SHOW
May 10 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Doors open at 7:00, show at 7:30 PM
Ghost stories, magic and illusions, elements of turn-of-the-century spook shows, and themes of fading memory and death (you know, a feel good show).
Named “Best in Fringe” at last year’s Hamilton Fringe Fest, Illusionist Nick Wallace is presenting a re-worked and reimagined version of SPOOK SHOW, at the Staircase Theatre on April 19th. Tickets are $30 and available staircasehamilton.com.
On the surface, SPOOK SHOW has all the trappings of a vintage spook show (magic, illusions, spectral faces in Victorian parlors, images of rabbits, ghosts, owls and imps), but underneath it is about fading memories, loss and processing death. The magic and illusions are interwoven with personal stories, creating something that is both haunting and heartfelt.
