Phoenix, AZ – Scorpius Dance Theatre announces the return
of their very own cult classic, A Vampire Tale, October 19-21,
26-28 and November 2-4, 2006, at the Phoenix Theatre's Little
Theatre. It is tersely touted as “the ‘Nutcracker’ of Halloween”
and has become the requisite haunt of the fall season. In its
third year of staging, this ever-evolving, original dance
production comprises a cast of 14 dancers and features
the choreography of Lisa Starry.

Scorpius will once again, lure audiences with its seductive
movement and dynamic plot. The story follows a young
woman who becomes lost, encountering a motley crew of
bloodsuckers. The characters structure an intense spectacle
of dark debauchery while the innocent is both fascinated
and frightened by their underworld.

-If you have any questions do not hesitate to PM me or
simply post on the site. For those who attend, an
awesome "adventure" awaits! Thank you for your
time and hope to see friendly faces in the audience.

I just saw it and I loved it! My favorite scene was the coffin scene with the red lighting!

Maggie,
Trying to gather up a few friends to join in the fun. This looks like general seating, is that correct? If we all buy our tickets online at different times will we still be able to sit together?

Suz, it is open seating. If you get there early you can easily sit together. I would suggest first or second row center.

Went to the 1930 showing tonight..

First I'll mention that Halloween is my favorite of all holidays. This show really put me in the spirit.

It was so awesome. My daughter, Rhiannon (who is almost 7) was really freaked out going in, had a good grip on my hand and requested to sit on my lap during the show. We sat in the second row, because she was too scared to sit in the front. The lady who was the host in the front prior to the doors opening told everyone that "the vampires are waking up in there" and really set the mood for Rhiannon.

I made matters worse when Rhiannon asked me if vampires were real and I answered yes. My husband contradicted my answer though. I really think kids need a good spooky tale once in a while, thats what Halloween is about.

The show without any spoilers...

waiting for it to start was really cool and pulled a few good laughs from me. Freaked out my daughter big time but she will have a lot to say to her classmates come Monday.

The music, dancing, choreographing, acting and facial expressions were all in sync with the mood and theme. It was awesome.

Maggie was wonderful, and I thank her for introducing us to another form of entertainment that we rarely get to experience. The show was very professional and intriguing.

Maggie you were awesome, you can tell you enjoy your work... I especially liked two scenes which I won't describe, that really captivated my attention. Everyone was so into it. Thanks for letting us know about this. I really enjoyed...

Diane, Michelle and I all went to the 9:30 show...ran into Heidi on her way out (good to meet you Heidi!!), her daughter still looked a little leary! Also ran into Suz (complete with her own garlic crouton) and her group of friends. And who was manning the door?...our very own Long and Short (JC)!

We got front row seats and put Long and Short in the dead center, figured he'd offer some added protection as he must have some pull with the vamps! Wink

The show was impressive, Maggie---you were WONDERFUL!!! Applause

I'll admit, I didn't follow the entire storyline...but the dancers, the choreography, the designs, the sets, the music was all fantastic! Very enjoyable!
