On her way\, she is helped by Ballerina Witches\, Jazzy Vampires\, Modern-Dancing Mummies\, a Tap-Da ncing Skeleton and even a Jack O’ Lantern named Jake!\n\nOur story start s when Mallory (a ghost) awakes on Halloween Eve to find that she has been removed from her haunted house! After figuring out how to move her variou s limbs again (or lack thereof)\, she runs into Jake. This twirling and bo uncing Jack O Lantern directs her to talk to the mysterious ballerina witc hes of the Foggy Forest. Jake gives Mallory a map to find the Foggy Forest and hopefully to meet the ballerina witches for their advice. The witches take her to their Cauldron of Truth where Mallory is told that she will h ave to help the jazzy vampires and modern dancing mummies at Creepy Crawly Lane make amends for the Cauldron to help her.\n\nWhen Mallory and Jake m ake their way to CCL\, they find the jazzy vampires and modern dancing mum mies in a fierce candy stealing war. She and Jake convince them that if th ey share all their entire candy stash\, everyone will end up with enough c andy. On their way back from Creepy Crawly Lane\, they run into a tap-danc ing skeleton getting ready for a dance performance. They stop to watch her dance and wish her luck! Then back at the Foggy Forest\, the Cauldron pro duces a map back to Mallory’s haunted house. The production ends with Ma llory waving from the stoop of her haunted house with Jake handing out can dy to the Halloween Trick or Treaters.\n\nThis production was created by M ariah Eastman\, artistic director of Darvin Dances\, a Chicago based moder n/contemporary dance company. Along with six professional dancers\, there are seven young dancers from the Chicago community participating in this p roduction (dancers are based at Dovetail Studios\, Gus Giordano and Tutu S chool).
