CF students present classic comedy-thriller

College of Central Florida theatre students invite the community to “come to the party … stay if you dare” as they present “Beware the House on Haunted Hill” live on stage Oct. 23-26. Performance times are 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 23-25, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26.

“This show is a clever parody of the 1959 film, filled with twists, turns and a few special surprises,” said Dr. Jason Longtin, CF program chair for Visual and Performing Arts and the play’s director.

The production features 11 theatre students on stage and a team of 10 more behind the scenes, working on tech and special effects. The set and costume designs evoke the spirit of old Hollywood camp, creating a look and atmosphere that will make audiences feel like they’re right in the movies.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for non-CF students and can be purchased at cf.universitytickets.com or by calling 352-873-5810. Tickets are free for CF students, faculty and staff with valid I.D.
