Martin P. Robinson Productions and Little Shadow Productions presents All Hallows Eve, a horror musical journey across the grey veil on a Halloween night, testing a sister’s and brother’s love against the forces of true evil. Sixteen performances will be staged at The Connelly Theater, 220 East 4th Street (at Avenue A) in New York City, from Friday, October 18 through Saturday, November 2. Book, lyrics and puppet design are by Martin P. Robinson (Little Shop of Horrors; “Sesame Street”) and music is by Paul Rudolph (Emmy Award-winning composer, “Sesame Street”, “GLANK”). Robinson directs a cast of ten from the casts of “Sesame Street,” Avenue Q and Little Shop of Horrors and other productions, including Jennifer Barnhart (Avenue Q, “Sesame Street,” “Julie’s Greenroom”), Tyler Bunch (“Julie’s Greenroom,” “The Tick”),Aubrey Clinedinst (The Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre), Austin Michael Costello (“Sesame Street”), Cedwan Hooks (Award-winning puppet designer); Haley Jenkins (“Sesame Street,” The Pee-Wee Herman Show), Kathleen Kim (“Sesame Street”), Marca Leigh* (“The Muppets”), Spencer Lott (“Sesame Street”) and Kaitee Tredway (Avenue Q).
All Hallows Eve began as a twenty-minute Guest Artist Project for the 2013 National Puppetry Conference, followed by a first version of the entire piece during a two-week residency in February 2018, both at the O’Neill Theater Center and with the support of The Jim Henson Foundation. The play follows the story of Eve and Evan, twins roped into yet another desperately dull Halloween by their parents. Managing to break free, they maraud, pumpkin-smash and toilet-paper, inadvertently crossing the thin line between worlds on this night of all nights. They enter a house and meet a demoness who has been lying in wait for just such a pair. A harrowing cat-and-mouse game ensues with the stakes being nothing less than their immortal souls. All Hallows Eve is a tale wrapped up in horror, comedy, and blood… and definitely not for young children.
