Druganacht: Seven Nights in the Dark Forest
Checklist Image

EACA is proud to sponsor the latest production of our Arts and Culture Committee: Druganacht: Seven Nights in the Dark Forest.

 

For four weeks this fall, Brownwood Park will be transformed into an enchanted forest full of fire, mystery and creatures who only come out at night. Follow the brave Vasilisa on her journey through this ancient  wood to seek the wisdom of the Baba Yaga and ask for her blessing. Owls will hunt, Ravens will fly, Spiders will climb, Cats will cavort, Wolves will stalk. The Forest itself will come alive before your eyes.

 

Thursday Shows and early Saturday Shows are family friendly. The late show on Saturday is ADULTS only (18 and over).  Tickets are available here and at the EAV Famers Market every Thursday from 5-7.

 

Show Schedule:

Thursdays, Oct 11th - Nov 1st @7:30

Saturdays, Oct 13th - Nov 3rd @7:30 

Saturdays, Oct 13th - Nov 3rd @9  ADULTS ONLY

No shows on Saturday October 20th.  Please look for us in the Little 5 Points Parade.
