UNC Asheville drama students will create UNCA’s fifth annual Haunted Theatre October 26-31. The popular event converts UNCA’s Carol Belk Theatre into a house of horrors and drama students into ghouls.

Special "lights on" tours for young children will be offered beginning at 7 p.m. nightly. Extended lights on tours will be given from 6-8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 28. Spooky adult tours run 8-11 p.m. on October. 26-27 and 31, and 8-10 p.m. on October 28-29 and 30. On Halloween night, tours will run until 11 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 children and are available at the door.

Proceeds from the event will help UNCA’s Drama Department students attend the United States Institute for Theater Technology national conference in New Orleans next February.
