SPTC's Annual Halloween Event GHOSTWALK Goes Virtual

This year, instead of you coming to them, the Ghosts are coming to YOUR house! The Santa Paula Theater Center's beloved annual Halloween event GHOSTWALK 2020 will be presented as a virtual streaming "GHOSTWATCH" on Oct 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25.

Presented annually as a theater in the streets seasonal production, GHOSTWALK is an artistic presentation of the history of Santa Paula and features "ghosts" recounting the story of their untimely demise. Each year GHOSTWALK takes places in a different unique locale in Santa Paula and has been providing a family fun fall event for over 25 years. In keeping with this tradition while adhering to Covid-19 limitations, this year GHOSTWALK will feature individual ghosts filmed at unique locations around Santa Paula and will be Ghost Hosted by Doug Friedlander, one of GHOSTWALK'S most colorful spirits. The scripted stories this year are favorites featured in past productions. So, if you are a long time GHOSTWALK attendee, you're sure to find one of your favorites.

This year's GHOSTWALK will be streamed to SPTC's YouTube channel for public viewing at the following link, https://www.youtube.com/user/santapaulatheaterctr. Those who tune in will encounter a zany collection of lost souls who will thrill them with their "deadtime" stories. The scripts incorporate colorful, historic locations and events about the early Santa Paula residents.
