An Ode to Haunting Nights of Days Past with Live Music + Spooky Stories+ A Sprinkle of Surprises

Enter an Enchanting Realm of Stories Told Outdoors

Venture into a world where tradition meets the mystical with Sweet Tea Shakespeare’s Shadows & Song: All Hallows’ by the Fireside. Nestled in the embrace of nature at Cape Fear Botanical Garden, this unique production offers an ethereal blend of theatre and music, creating a truly transformative experience. This is a One-Night Only Showcase Event on Saturday, October 28 at Halloween at the Boo-tanical Garden, 536 N. Eastern Blvd in Fayetteville .

As Halloween’s magic cloaks the world, Sweet Tea Shakespeare offers a doorway into the enchanting realm of Shadows & Song. Picture a serene night, the flicker of firelight casting dancing shadows. Along the Garden Path, tales of haunting beauty and melancholic music unfold. It’s an ode to the nights of old, where stories passed from generation to generation, not just to entertain but to bond, reflect, and remember.
