Your ticket includes everything to have an amazing evening - dancing, delicious food and wonderful drinks.

Our inspiration is Truman Capote's epic party more than 50 years ago, which featured “as spectacular as a group has ever been as assembled for a private party in New York,” including diplomats, politicians, scientists, painters, writers, composers, tycoons and more, according to The New York Times.

Wear your favorite black and white outfits like the guests at The Plaza or be inspired by any 60's glam or other costume!

The Charlotte Chorale Inc., under the direction of Andrew Struhar, will present “Haunted Halloween Harmonies”.

Imagine a “Little Shop of Horrors” where, on All Hallow’s Eve, the record shop springs to life. The spirits of singers from the records awaken to perform, causing more than just “Double Trouble” as “Things Go Bump In The Night.” But fear not, for “The Ghostbusters” are on the scene. It’s not all “Grim Grinning Ghosts” though; the shop gets rockin’ with the frenzy of “Transylvania Mania.”

After a brief intermission, where guests can rest their weary bones, the monsters return to party with the “Monster Mash.” Even though the witches have been banished, they still manage to “Put A Spell On You.” This is Halloween, and it promises to be a “Thriller” of a night.

Join us for a thrilling night when ghosts come out to vocalize.
