The art of Brayden Bugazzi will be featured. Brayden explained the work he is exhibiting, “I am showing a collage fusing vintage space exploration recreating a famous photograph from the Moon landing, to the new modern dreams of reaching further out to Mars and beyond. This will play into the Space, invasion theme that the Magic Castle is building with their Halloween event.”

Inspired by the complex psychological horror movies of the 1970s, the Impro Main Company will create never before seen, unsettling stories that thrive off the fear and desperation that live inside us all.
