OK, #HoosierMast - spooky season is upon us. Who would like to go with me to see Evil Dead, the Musical at #CivicTheatre of #LafayetteIN ? Are they spraying fake blood into the audience? Hell yeah they are! lafayettecivic.org/season/evildead #EvilDead #Halloween
lafayettecivic.org
# See Yourself Here! # Evil Dead The Musical October 22-31, 2026 Artwork by Katie Pitoukkas Books and Lyrics by **George Reinblatt****** Music by**Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris, George Reinblatt ** Based on characters created by **Sam Raimi** Directed by **Tom Robson** **Sensory Friendly performance for this show is Sunday October 25 at 2:30 pm.** **Special Midnight Show on October 31!** Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon-killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies, limbs are dismembered, demons tell bad jokes… and all to music! You don’t need to be a fan of Evil Dead to love this show. You don’t need to be a fan of horror to love this show. You don’t even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show. As long as you’re having fun… this show is for you. Plus, it’s the only show with a “splatter zone” – a section of the audience that gets covered in fake blood. Purchase Tickets Digital Program Main Stage Production _Included in Fixed Season Pass and eligible for Flex Season Pass_ Online sales shut off 1 hour prior to show # Evil Dead The Musical Cast **Ash:** Owen Taylor **Cheryl:** Parker Smith **Annie:** Hope Young **Scott:** Liam Kelley **Linda:** Carly Smith **Shelley:** Alex Camille Bien **Jake:** Tyler Ledman **Ed:** Daniel Condreay **Ensemble:** Kyle Brown, Paul Harrison, Chantel Haughton, Colleen Schena, Will White # Thank you to our show sponsors! # Opening Night Hosts **Interested in sponsoring this show?

Shortly after the wedding, my brother and I took the quick trip home, via plane. So, literally we had "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". It was decided that I was the tall neurotic one and Eric was the large adorable one. I guess them's the rules. We arrived home, after a week of very little […]

In lieu of a father-daughter dance, Lily asked if we could do a father-daughter #MagicTrick. Of course I had to oblige. I had a series of cue cards so that I wouldn't mess up the trick. Lily had Steve pick a playing card that had been shuffled thoroughly by a groomsman and bury it in the middle […]

Ah, the #wedding was super-lovely, as you could tell by the pictures. I'd never attended a #JewishWedding before, but speaking ceremonially & ritually it certainly was one of the most wonderful weddings I have ever attended. I might be biased because it was my daughter's, but even besides that […]

However, the train was optimized for convenience in location! I took it out of #LafayetteIN. Because I got the roomette, 3 hot (weirdly delicious) meals were included. Vegetarian options were available! Also, we got some nice scenery going through the Appalacian Mountains. So, definitely pluses […]

The adventure started with me and my brother taking a #train ride out to #WashingtonDC. I've never taken an #Amtrak before! So, a 21-hour ride by train. I sprung for the "roomette" which had exactly enough room for one person to stand, with a pair of bunks for sleeping. It could be converted to […]

Text from an article about the Iran war: "(Trump) has said that his goal is "freedom for the people" of Iran, but then said he has “three very good choices” in mind as to who he will install to take over the country, although he later said “actually, nevermind, we killed those choices."
