A Halloween-themed speakeasy is now open at the Red Rum Theatre inside the Curtis Center, offering a mix of live performances, themed cocktails and theatrical mystery shows throughout October.
The Hocus Pocus Speakeasy & Cocktail Experience, open through Oct. 26 at 601 Walnut St., is produced by Without a Cue Productions in partnership with Pops McCann Whiskey. The month-long pop-up features rotating events built around witchcraft, movie parodies and murder mysteries — all aimed at adults looking for a seasonal night out.
Each Saturday, visitors can take part in a Hocus Pocus Cocktail Experience, hosted by performers dressed as the Sanderson Sisters. The program includes short performances, audience participation and guided lessons on how to mix three themed drinks.
Fridays bring other themed nights such as Hocus Pocus Bingo, Sips & Psychics, Dirty Potter, and a one-night-only Rocky Horror Cocktail Experience. On weekends, Red Rum presents new comedic murder mysteries with titles like "Murder of Oz," "Deadly Dancing" and "Once Bitten, Twice Dead," along with a "Schitt’s Creek" parody.
A singles-themed show, The Great Singles Heist, is planned for Oct. 15.
The events are open to guests 21 and older, and costumes are welcome. Tickets and a full schedule are available at redrum.live/shows.
