Night of Dread
Oct 29
Dufferin Grove Park

Is City Hall the scariest thing you've seen this Halloween Season? Clay & Paper Theatre is tackling the subject in our 12th annual Night of Dread, featuring Service Cutbacks as our "Fear of the Year". Through a series of workshops, Clay & Paper worked with the local community to select service cuts as the scariest thing happen...ing in the GTA this year. To address community concerns, we have created a giant papier-mâché gravy boat symbolizing government cutbacks (to be unveiled at Night of Dread) which will meet its fiery end in a cathartic spectacle.
