Synetic Theater, in association with the National Landing Business Improvement District, JBG SMITH, and The Freshman, is throwing the marquee Halloween event of the season: a Vampire Ball. On Friday, Oct. 29, D.C. theater, and nightlife revelers rejoice — the festivities start with a performance of The Madness of Poe followed by an indoor/outdoor dance party with all the food, drinks and candy that a ghoul could ask for.

D.C.’s newest Halloween party with everything you need for a spooktacular night. Expect aerialists, Edgar Allan Poe-themed cocktails, dancing, physical theater, spooky Georgian remixes and fun-sized candy bars.

Included in the event is The Madness of Poe, a terrifying trilogy of tales from Edgar Allan Poe woven into one 90 minute heart-pounding thriller. Anchored by a reimagining of Synetic’s 2007 hit adaptation of The Fall of the House of Usher,  The Madness of Poe hauntingly blends Edgar Allan Poe’s unhinged reality with the intoxicating imaginings of his stories, including The Raven. These tales from the inventor of American horror are suspenseful, sinister, sensual — classic Synetic in every way.

COVID Policies: Proof of vaccination or negative PCR test required for entry. Masks will be required during the performance but may be removed for indoor/outdoor party.
