The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway in Umhlanga are celebrating Halloween for the first time on Saturday, October 31, with two special events – one during the day aimed at children, and one at night for adults and including the Rugby World Cup final.

The first is a fun event for kids/families in the afternoon, with the theatre opening at 11.30 am, and activities from 12 noon to 2 pm. This will include a Hall Of Horrors, face painters, a magician, and trick or treat stations. There will also be a hip-hop dancing display, followed by a dance-off for the kids.
Things will be amped up in the evening for adults when things kick off at 5.30 pm, in preparation for the Rugby World Cup final on the theatre’s big screen.

Patrons attending this show will experience the House Of Horrors, can have their face painted by special effect make-up artists (either for Halloween or in support of their favourite rugby finalists), and can visit the specially dedicated shooter bar.

The screening of the Rugby World Cup final will then be followed by The Barnyard’s current show, Viva Las Vegas, with a DJ and dance floor keeping the party going thereafter.

Everyone attending both events is encouraged to not only dress up but to also decorate their seating area in a Halloween theme, with prizes up for grabs! The Barnyard’s kitchen will be open from 11.30 am until 8 pm when the evening’s show starts.

Tickets are R130 for the afternoon show, and R250 for the evening show, with seating being as for normal shows. For bookings and enquiries, phone The Barnyard Theatre on 031 – 566 3045 or visit http://www.barnyard.durban.
