During the Halloween season of 2019, I was able to fully immerse myself in the holiday spirit while working on the New York City premiere of Martin P. Robinson’s musical All Hallow’s Eve at the Connelly Theater.

About: Eve and Evan are twins roped into yet another desperately dull Halloween by their parents. Managing to break free, they maraud, pumpkin-smash and toilet-paper, inadvertently crossing the thin line between worlds on this night of all nights. They enter a house and meet a demoness who has been lying in wait for just such a pair. A harrowing cat-and-mouse game ensues with the stakes being nothing less than their immortal souls. All Hallows Eve is a tale wrapped up in horror, comedy, and blood… and definitely not for young children.

All Hallows Eve began as a twenty-minute Guest Artist Project for the 2013 National Puppetry Conference at the O’Neill Theater Center. A lot of hard work later, the first version of the entire piece came together during a two-week residency, also at the O’Neill Theater Center, in February 2018 for three performances.

The October 2019 production at the Connelly Theater was its first presentation in New York City. More information about the show here.
