M ysterious Bodies
The Liberty Theatre plays host
to an unusual Halloween show
at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19.
“BloodyVox” features the per-
formers from Portland-based
BodyVox, a troupe that com-
bines dance, theater and film
into performances rich in imag-
ery, athleticism and humor. The
group formed in 1997 and has
toured around the globe, pro-
ducing nine films, 30 original
shows and three operas.
Promoters say the show brings
Halloween to life by channeling
Alfred Hitchcock, Bella Lugosi
and Boris Karloff. While fami-
ly-friendly, it may not be suit-
able for all ages.
Reserved-seat tickets are $20
to $35 for adults and $5 for
those younger than 18 and avail-
able at libertyastoria.showare.
