Gather your ghoul-friends, monster mates, and demon dates and plan to see a delightful show full of spooky themed songs from Broadway and beyond when Theatre in the Wood presents Halloween at the Hall. Enjoy a night of spine-tingling, soul-grabbing songs from Broadway and beyond. This haunting, but fun musical play will take place at the historic Civil War era (circa 1870) Dramatic Hall located at 900 Main Street in downtown Peekskill. The location, with its art nouveau staircases, exposed brick walls and Victorian stage is perfect for the ghostly tales that will ensue.
This Halloween Cabaret, conceived and directed by Katie Schmidt Feder, with musical direction by Gerry Micera of Putnam Valley, and a three-piece band, marks the third production by Theatre in the Wood. The show will feature songs from such Broadway favorites as The Addams Family, Beetlejuice, Young Frankenstein and other favorite spooky sources such as Nightmare Before Christmas and the Rocky Horror Picture Show will follow The Addams, Frankensteins, Jack, Sally, Oogie, and a certain afterlife troublemaker in a striped suit will haunt the stage.
Halloween at the Hall will feature six talented performers including Mario Giacalone of Croton, Peter Moriarty, Melody Munitz of Cortlandt, Mika Nishida, Nick Nazario of Peekskill, and Katie Schmidt Feder of Yorktown. Cast bios can be found using this link.
Come prepared with or without costume and experience a fantastic theater group put on a dazzling display of ghostly perfection. There will be eight performances over the next three weeks. Performances will take place on October 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 30, and a special Halloween performance on October 31. The special Halloween performance on Thursday, October 31, will also include a Halloween Costume Contest and Dance Party. The final performance will occur on November 2, the Day of the Dead.

Theatre in the Wood, a new theatrical and culinary production company formed in the fall of 2023. The vision of Theatre in the Wood encompasses a little of the nostalgia and fun of dinner theaters of the past with elevated culinary expectations staged in romantic, historical & nature-inspired settings. The mission is to perpetuate the art of musical theatre and provide paid work for its practitioners. In the first half of 2024, founder Katie Schmidt Feder conjured a traveling musical revue titled A MOVABLE MUSICAL FEAST that craftily combined music – often relating to food – with staging and choreography that cleverly delivered a meal to the guests who were seated at elegant dining tables. The goal of Theatre in the Wood is to capture the feel of a dinner party where your hosts provide not only elevated food, but high-level entertainment as well.
