The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Step into the eerie enchantment of the 1920s this Halloween as we resurrect Lon Chaney’s haunting portrayal of Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Under the silver screen, Kennerley will take center stage to weave a musical tapestry inspired by classic composers like Louis Victor Jules Vierne to mirror the drama and emotion of this classic and spooky silent film and transport the audience to a bygone era of cinematic nostalgia. Come dressed in your most festive Halloween attire and revel in this bewitching blend of history, horror, and harmonies—it’s an event that promises thrills for all brave souls!
RUN TIME: 2.5 hrs with an intermission
