“ALL TOGETHER, THAT AND THIS, WITH ALL OUR TRICKS, WE’RE MAKING CHRISTMAS TIME!”

We’re back with The Saloon Ensemble‘s epic ALL AGES production of “The Nitemare B4 Xmas!!!!” featuring Kylee Wegner as Jack, Patrica Charms as Sally, Jason Wells as The Mayor, Morgan Albertson as Oogie Boogie, Dan Stauffer as Dr. F, Phil Sano as Sandy Claws, Richard Cawley, Iris Asher, and Stacey Ludlow as Lock, Shock, and Barrel, Julia Andalora as Zero, plus Jon Vancura on sax, Mike Danner on accordion, Jeremy Baron on mandolin, and Joe Hagel on drums.

Portland’s legendary performance troupe The Saloon Ensemble will once again bring to the stage a live performance of the brilliant score complete with interactive SING-A-LONGS, a COSTUME CONTEST, everyone’s favorite SCREAMING CONTEST and many other ‘horrible’ surprises!

Celebrate the Halloween season with our annual production that’s been packing houses and delivering joyous fun for all spirits, young and old.

“Saloon’s Nitemare is many kinds of show–a kid’s show, a variety show, a retelling of a seasonal myth, a big-band dance show, an enthusiastic singspiel–and there’s something timeless about that sort of despecialization; the production’s smattering of amateurish elements only added to that feeling. But that’s not to say that any of it was poorly performed–the show was grand, simply grand, and the band kicked ass…I hope this show runs for a century.”
