Join us for this year’s Haunted Historic Theatre Tours as we investigate the unexplainable happenings, murmurs, and ghosts that lurk in the wings during the month of October.

Take the tour if you dare with our staff and Hill City Paranormal (HCP) team leading the way as we explore the life and death of Fred Dabney, an Academy employee from the early 1900s. HCP has hosted several investigations in our theatre, each time revealing mysterious artifacts, photos, and sightings of Fred. Learn more about what they have found, and the bone-chilling places Fred has surfaced in our theatre over the past year.

Every Wednesday beginning September 29 through October, you can experience the chilling haunting of the Historic Theatre on our exclusive Haunted Theatre Tour! Be prepared for goosebumps, and remember: as long as you stay with the group, you’ll be just fine.

Each walking tour lasts around 45 minutes, and concessions are open prior to each tour. Tours are limited to 45 persons per tour and are ADA accessible. We recommend children ages 12+. The first 100 ticket buyers will receive one free commemorable cup with their purchase!
