Derry Halloween 2026 at The Playhouse
The School on the Edge of Reality
Two Realities. One Halloween. No Time to Lose.
Every show sold out last Halloween. Now the School is back, bigger and stranger than ever.
Get ready to enter… The School on the Edge of Reality, where Derry’s most haunted history collides with its strangest future. Something has slipped between worlds, reality is starting to come apart at the seams, and Halloween night is running out of time.
Felix Phantom is back, and this year he has brought help: Elara Finch, a professor in training who is about to find out exactly what she is made of. Together with the mysterious Ivy Nightshade, she needs a brave audience to help stitch reality back together before it is too late.
With a brand new opening, new digital artwork and sound, and more magic, mystery and mayhem than ever, this is a spooky Halloween adventure the whole family can do together.
