The students of Woods Mill Middle School really love to put on a show. But Ms. Walker has chosen a spooky script—the one that her great grandmother tried to stage but was never performed because of mysterious mayhem plaguing rehearsals? And what about that never-used creepy trap door with an elevator to the dark tunnels below the stage—is it even safe? And what about the strange–and strangely evil–voices that echo in the theater, and the wickedly weird things that keep happening during every single rehearsal? Join the fright-filled fun—just in time for Halloween!—as the cast of “The Phantom of the Auditorium” tries to survive until Opening Night in this tale of musical mayhem from the mind of R.L. Stine. We’ve heard of “Stage Fright!” but—SERIOUSLY—this is ridiculous!
The Rose Theater is conjuring up more than just a show – we’re brewing a whole cauldron of thrills!
For this Goosebumps adventure, your ticket unlocks free pre- and post-show fun: strut in our costume parade, craft creepy-cute creations, wander a kid-friendly graveyard, dare to reach into mystery bins, snap haunted photos, meet the cast, and uncover ghostly surprises around every corner. It’s a spooktacular Goosebumps experience from the first eerie step into the theater to the final chilling bow! Costumes encouraged for this show!

“It makes the ants in my tummy chill out.
I can take whatever is going on in the world and make it better and I don’t need a fancy job or a million-billion dollars.
All I need is a pencil, a piece of paper and my imagination.
Pretty cool right?”
Milo is on a long subway ride with his older sister. To pass the time, he studies the faces around him and makes pictures of their lives. There’s the boy in the suit with the bright white sneakers; Milo imagines him arriving home to a castle with a drawbridge and a butler. But when the boy in the suit gets off on the same stop as Milo—walking the same path, going to the exact same place—Milo realizes that you can’t really know anyone just by looking at them.
Directed by Kathy Tyree.
