SEVENTY SCENES OF HALLOWEEN Kicks Off Luna Theater's 11th Season, 10/12

Luna Theater Company announces that its 11th season will start with the revival of Jeffrey M. Jones' experimental classic "Seventy Scenes of Halloween" October 12 - November 3, 2012 at the Skybox @ The Adrienne Theater, 2030 Sansom St. Philadelphia, Penn. Tickets are priced from $15-$30 and can be purchased by visiting www.lunatheater.org or calling 215-704-0033.

It's Halloween night. Jeff and Joan, a young married couple, wait for trick-or-treaters in their claustrophobic suburban home. As the night goes on, their unspoken desires and resentments bubble to the surface. Their life together transforms into a cheesy horror movie, filled with mysterious events, hungry ghosts, and verse-speaking monsters. Jeff and Joan are never sure what is actually happening, what is imaginary, and what is a nightmare vision of what could be. Equal parts sitcom and supernatural thriller, Seventy Scenes of Halloween explores contemporary married life through both humor and horror. There is nothing else even remotely like Jeffrey M. Jones' inventive, hilarious and challenging play.

This production is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 16.

Now in its 11th season, The Luna Theater Company is dedicated to intimate, intelligent, and intense work that delves into the human psyche, Luna Theater Company is the destination for today’s provocative voices, with a love for the darkly tragic-comic. The Luna Theater has twice been honored with Philadelphia Weekly's 'Play of the Year' - "Grace" by Craig Wright (2008) and "Blasted" by Sarah Kane (2011).
