“It’s Halloween Magic” focuses on the mystical aspect of the season and hundreds of dancers from the Back Mountain communities will appear with others from across the region performing a wide variety of ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop dances all set in a musical motif for the holiday.

Characters from creepy to kooky and costumes of all sorts and styles will strut their stuff.

The 90-minute performance is divided into three separate acts. Highlighting this year’s Halloween show will be an original dance treatment to the classic “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” A special treat will be the appearance of “Tony the Great.”

Tickets are $9 in advance and may be purchased by calling the centre at 287-7977.
