On October 30, Echo Theater Company transforms into a dark circus for Echo is Aliiiive!—a Halloween fundraising fête inspired by the community of creatures and mythical beings who take classes at Echo. This is not a party for blending in. It’s a night for dark beings, couture, camp, and celebrating the artists who keep Echo’s creative spark alive.

Expect the unexpected

• Stilt-walking hors d’oeuvres—because snacks simply taste better when served from above

• Ambient circus performers drifting, dazzling, and causing just the right amount of mischief

• Special performances from our teaching artists - the brilliant humans who bring Echo’s work to life

• Periodic pop-up acts throughout the night: keep your eyes peeled for dramatic entrances and 

• A bar stocked for toasts, cackles, and questionable scientific decisions

• A silent auction with prizes from local businesses

Dress code: "Come As You Aren’t"

Wear the costume, fantasy, alter ego, or formal look you have always dreamed of wearing. Think monster prom. Think creature-feature couture. Think ringmaster after dark, vampire at the opera, gothic gala, campy laboratory chic, or simply the most fabulous version of yourself.

Come dressed to thrill, bid generously, revel dramatically, and help us bring more daring, joyful, and wildly alive circus into the world.
