"Evil Dead: The Musical"
Theatre on the Square
Now-November 15

Based on Sam Raimi's '80s cult classic films, "Evil Dead" tells the tale of five college kids who travel to a cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force. The songs are hilariously campy and the show is bursting with farce. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, "camp" takes on a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers like "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons," "Look Who's Evil Now" and "Do the Necronomicon."

"A Christmas Carol"
Indiana Repertory Theatre
November 3-December 28

Get in the holiday spirit and join friends and family for this beloved tradition. This classic tale features Scrooge in an always-new interpretation of Dickens' sparkling story of love and redemption brought about by his old partner Jacob Marley, three ghosts of Christmas and a little boy named Tiny Tim. The holidays aren’t complete without a visit from Ebenezer Scrooge.
