No-Frills Halloween Dance Party!
We all know: this year is different. So, this is the deal and it’s not fancy:
We have no DJ; it’s a play list with some of our favorite dance music.
You have to dance outside in our parking lot. And, wear a mask. And, dance six feet apart from people you don’t know. And, don’t take candy from strangers. Just joking. But, it’s a good rule in general.
We’ll probably have a costume contest but guess what the prize is. Nothing. Simply the honor of winning. Which is something.
If you’re out, stop by. We’d be honored to be a part of your celebration because it’s our most favoritest time of year.

The Magnetic Theatre is thrilled to announce the triumphant return of the wildly popular and hysterically funny game show, where questionable people give questionable answers to questionable questions. From the creators of The SuperHappy Radio Hour, this live show features some of Asheville’s best comedians and improv performers competing for laughs, with a game show format in the tradition of Wait, Wait! Don’t Tell Me, and celebrity trivia shows of the 70’s and 80s, like Match Game and The Hollywood Squares. Please join us for ALL the fun, at The Hi-Wire Big Top in Biltmore Village, for two unique performances of this crazy show.
