What does the Witch say? (FAQs)

Distinguished Guests,
Welcome to the UNDEAD Woods. Your favorite Hallow-Queen here, and I’m no basic witch. We are splendidly excited to host you for an evening of unearthly elegance where mischief unhinges the mortal realm. Do not fright! I will be at your side the entire way. Please watch your ticket confirmation email closely for further information about safety precautions, parking, logistics, etc. for the event. You should receive this mysterious note a couple days before the show, lest that dreaded Dracula gets in my way again. He can be such a pain in the neck. Did you say you have some questions?

• Q: Where is the venue? •
Witch says: The UNDEAD Woods are located this year at the Factory on 5th (3409 E 5th St, Austin, TX 78702). Please! Don’t get deja-boo and show up to last year’s venue! Witches, there is rain in the forecast, so please bring an umbrella; the entrance to the warehouse is in the back and will require a short walk down the uncovered side alley to the right of the building!

• Q: What time should I be there? •
Witch says: You and your ghouls should plan to arrive at the time on your ticket (6:30pm or 8:30pm), no sooner! #squadghouls

• Q: Can I wear my Halloween costume? •
Witch says: I say…. if you’ve got it, haunt it. We’ll be on the lookout for the ghostess with the mostest. Please note, however, that this warehouse does not have A/C. Please dress according to the weather outside!

• Q: Where do I park? •
Witch says: Witch, please. Note that the bar is wide open featuring eerie-sistable spooky cocktails, so we strongly encourage taking a Ride Share. If you do decide to drive, however, you can park your broomsticks on the surrounding streets of the Factory on 5th (3409 E 5th St, Austin, TX 78702). Beware of the street signage!

• Q: What time does the show start, and how long does it last? •
Witch says: The fang club will begin the one-hour performance in the Undead Woods approximately 30minutes after the time on your ticket. Don’t be late to the spooktacle!

• Q: What’s up with the Zombie Raffle? •
Witch says: Those Zombie friends of mine are hosting a Zombie Raffle again. Bring cash and venmo to buy your $5 tickets and an opportunity to win the same Kendra Scott necklace that Dracula gifts the Huntress in the ballet. Hey thanks, Kendra, you’re jewelry is bat to the bone. (BTW! All proceeds go towards artist paychecks!)

• Q: What is the recommended age for this show? •
Witch says: Listen ghouls, these Woods are full of scary creatures and adult humor. I keep trying to get the undead creatures to tone it down, but alas, they love to creep it real. That said.. leave your kiddos at home. Your babes are just too cute to spook, so get a sitter and trick or treat yo' self to a night of fright.

• Q: What is the scary content of the show? •
Witch says: We are here to get this party startled. Here in the Undead Woods, you’ll meet Dracula (he’s a real Vein Gogh), the Huntress, some creepy dolls, a herd of zombies, a horrifying werewolf, a colony of Dracula’s bats, a clique of his exiled ex-brides, my silly little spider sidekick, Carol, and… well…. WITCHES!

• Q: How close will the characters get to me? •
Witch says: My friends here in the Undead Woods are tricksters, and they like to get up close and personal, but they will not touch you. Please, witches, don’t touch them either!

• Q: Will there be a bar? •
Witch says: Trick or tequila? There will be drinks available for purchase, thanks to the generous pop-up bar hosted by Spider House Ballroom. I checked the spellbook, and the cauldron punch is witchin.’ As my good foe Dracula says, “Eat, drink, and be scary!”

• Q: What special effects will be used? •
Witch says: My favorite hobby is witchcraft. Please note that haze, strobe lighting, and music are used during this performance.

• Q: Is the venue wheelchair accessible? •
Witch says: Both the venue access and the seating are located on the ground level. Give us a heads up (info@ventanaballet.com) if you need us to designate some specific wheelchair spots for your party. We know that not all witches ride brooms, so allow us to reserve a spot for you to get the most fa-boo-lous views of the scares!

• Q: Can we buy tickets at the door? •
Witch says: We will sell some limited tickets at the door, but it’s cheaper to buy online in advance! I definitely recommend buying in advance, though, since this show tends to SELL OUT! Buy your tickets online NOW, or else we may have to say, “Boo, Felicia!”

Some parting words from the Witch…
Prepare yourself for some treats, and maybe a few tricks.
And remember: I rule these Woods.
